General discussion is about trying to get ls to show files beginning with ., without getting . and .. I remember that V7 *did* give files with names beginning with ".". I remember that this went away somewhere down the road...BSD let us ask for it with -A, which Sys V doesn't implement. I also remember a peek into the Sys V source at some point which said that there's a compilation option to ls which will give the dot-prefixed names. so...mutter, grumble...I used to have it, then I could ask for it, now it's there but I can't get at it. Is dis progress? I dunno, I don' tink so. -- Dick Dunn rcd@ico.isc.com uucp: {ncar,nbires}!ico!rcd (303)449-2870 ...No DOS. UNIX.
