- This is a simple wide directory type utility which sorts the names of
- files and directories. Directories are displayed in uppercase colour 3
- (orange) and files in lowercase colour 1 (white). Only the first 18
- characters of a name are printed. The optional keyword DIRS displays the
- directories only while FILES displays the files only.

- You need to have your shell window the full width of the screen or the
- output wil look strange. The program cannot be made resident so if your
- startup sequence makes dir resident its best to just put this program in
- your c directory under another name e.g. dirwide.
- If you want to print the source file out then you will have to edit out
- the escape sequences in the printnames function but dont use ed because
- it doesnt like them either.
