- Re: TK_LS.ARC - Timonthy Kay's "ls" for MS-DOS w/source v1.0
-
- This is my version of ls. It combines some of the features of Unix ls
- with some of my ideas of what Unix find should be able do.

- Usage: ls [-c] [?] [--] [-?] [-1FRabltv] [-f[abis[#]]] [file ...]
- where

- examples
- ls list files in current directory
- ls -Rfas1000 / lists all ASCII files smaller than 1000 bytes
- ls -vRfas1000 / same but explains why some files do not qualify
- ls -Rfas / | zoo aI /backup backs up all ASCII files of reasonable size
