I'm working on an interactive program to read a directory, present the
files in that directory and mark them for reading (text files). I
seem to be drawing a blank as how to display the file names in columns
of 4 of 5 across for display. Has anyone done this? What about
sorting then in alpha order before displaying? Am I going to have to
allocate a huge array to hold the filenames?
The displayed files would be like those displayed using the lc or
ls -c command, except using a highlight to select a file for reading.
Thanks in advance.....
Scotty
