A new version of "ls" for MS-DOS has been posted to net.sources.
This version (v2.0) of "ls" is functionally similar to the
Unix utility "ls" with a few modifications for use in the MS-DOS
environment. It is an improved version of the program submitted to
net.sources two years ago, and includes the following changes:
o Automatically adapts to path separators "/" or "\", whichever
is in normal use;
o Identifies directories by absolute pathnames, starting at root;
o A new option (-i) suppresses directory names to permit output
filenames to be used elesewhere (e.g. in executable .bat files);
o Permits customizing long and short listing formats separately;
o Has a few bugs fixed (e.g. accepts filenames in ALL CAPS);
o Has been separated into individual source files, and has a Makefile;
o Compiles under Microsoft C (v 3.x or later), CI-C86 and DeSmet C;
o Includes a uuencoded executable file preconfigured with the best
possible choices for display format (i.e. the way I like it).
