Hiya. Recently, after using PKAzip, and seeing the UNIX-style listing of files (date, protection bits, etc. (ie rwed----- etc.)) available, and seeing various mentions of such a thing in the amiga groups, I went to my AmigaDOS book from Abacus and began reading. I came out with no idea on how to obtain this kind of listing, even with the dir OPT <option> stuff, so: How do I do it ? It's a bit of a kludge to use PKAzip everytime I want to see a file SIZE, or DATE, or BITS set y'know.... Anyone ? And did I miss anything ? I'm going to d/l SKsh right after I post this, so that'll help some, but I _do_ want to find out... Wayne

(my favorite is list since yesterday after uucping myself a lot of stuff.) Also under 2.0 list will report the current file size of a file that is open (instead of "empty" for newly created files), this is useful to monitor a file transfer in progress. -- VAX Headroom Speaking for myself only... blah blah blahblah blah...
