Does anybody out there have sources for ls,makdir,more for OS9 6809? I want to write some utilities like ls (more like the unix ls, and one that doesn't step the head so much on -l), man (with whatis and all), and lpr(I'm not sure what is out there). I'd like to see some examples of how these things are done to save time. Am I reinventing the ls? The ls that I saw was a bit different than the unix version and looked like it could be faster.

The source to 'more' may be found in _The Complete Rainbow Guide to OS-9_,
which may be purchased at Radio Shack for $16.95 (well, last time I checked,
anyway.) It's in OS9 6809 assembler on pages 349-354.
Also in this book are the C sources to wc, cat, spint (like grep), and d, an
enhanced directory utility.
-Hope that helps...

There are already examples of all you want to write on CIS. As far as ls is concerned if you make it more like the unix ls it will be slower and move the disk head more because it will have to go to the password file for every file listed to be able to print the user name. -Brett
