I'll add my kudos for 'list', but the most recent version is 6.2a. You can get it from the "Software Society" bbs in Sparta, N.J. 'list' author Vernon Buerg is an active participant on this board, so you can always get the latest versions of his programs there. -- Ben Broder {ihnp4,decvax} !hjuxa!catnip!ben {houxm,clyde}/

I do have to agree, it's a great utility, and it's still less than 8K (8191 bytes). -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= {harvard,seismo,ucbvax}!b.gp.cs.cmu.edu!ralf =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ARPAnet: RALF@B.GP.CS.CMU.EDU BITnet: RALF%B.GP.CS.CMU.EDU@CMUCCVMA AT&Tnet: (412) 268-3053 (school) FIDOnet: Ralf Brown at 129/31 DISCLAIMER?

Terry Sterkel mentions that the latest version he knows of for LIST is
6.0j. I have version 6.2a. Would you folks like me to post it to
comp.binaries.ibm.pc or somewhere else?

In fact, the current version of Vern Buerg's wonderful LIST program is 6.2a, dated May 7, 1987. There have been some excellent changes. Call your local MS-DOS BBS for a copy (and send Vern the $15 he requests if you continue to use the program -- it'll be the best $15 you ever spent on software). And, the normal disclaimer ... I have no financial connection to LIST, Vern Buerg, etc., etc.

Before you post v6.2a or whatever, prehaps we could find out what the latest version is supposed to be. Vernon Beurg, are you there ? What is the latest stable version of LIST ? -- ----------------------- Atul Kacker UUCP: ...seismo!rochester!ur-tut!akk2

There have been several postings about this program, none of them have had any relevance to the minix world.

PLEASE -- PLEASE -- PLEASE stop sending this stuff to comp.os.minix! We aren't running MS-DOS and don't care about MS-DOS versions of utilities. Particularly those distributed as DOS binaries.
