[comp.unix.xenix] ls/lc SysV/BSD swap

root@libove.UUCP (The Super User) (04/20/88)

On my SCO Xenix system (and all other Xenix'es I've played with) 'ls'
prints a single column, and ls -c or lc produces a (like BSD) columnar
report.

I want to modify my 'ls'(linked to l,ll,lf,la,lc,etc...) binary
(since SCO doesn't provide sources) so that 'ls' is columnar, and
'lc' is in one column only.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

ls() { /bin/ls -C $*; }
lc() { /bin/ls -1 $*; }
