- LList V0.3 by Nic Wilson
- ------------------------
-
- How many times have you looked at a disk and directory and wondered
- which files are the executable ones, IFF files, Data files etc.
- This happens to me all the time with utility and public domain disks
- that are full with files, some executable and some not.
- LList has been written to overcome this. It will display normal info
- that 'list' shows but includes information about the type if file it
- is. It is slightly slower than the list command as it has to read
- each file.
- The program can be aborted at anytime during its listing
- by pressing either CTRL C or CTRL D.
-
- This version currently knows files of the following type.
-
- Executable, ASCII, Data, WordPerfect, MOST Text, MOST IFF,
- IFF, 8SVX, SMUS. It also will show many different type off
- IFF files by extracting and printing info from inside the file.
- For example, an AmigaVision file will be shown as 'IFF AVCF' even
- though they are not actually known.
-
-
- HISTORY
- -------
- 0.2 Changed to lengthen amount of name string.
