- LSS.COM
-
- Yet another directory lister. The strange name is a bastardized
- unix name, but this is NOT like the unix "ls" command really.
- It does not take the unix arguments and the output cannot be
- redirected. Call it what you want.
-
- Directory listers are much more common today than they were when
- LSS was written.
-
- Though LSS writes directly to video ram for speed, it more or
- less simulates DIR/W/P.
-
- o The display format is easier to read.
-
- o It shows hidden/system files in contrasting color.
-
- o It shows any read-only file by replacing the "." in the
- file name with a "*".
-
- o It shows a directory by replacing the "." in the file name
- with a "\".
-
- o If the display overflows, it will page.
-
- o It will NOT sort or arrange anything: what you see is what
- you have in your directory. Sometimes this is important.
-
- o A convenient shortcut is used: an automatic "*.*".
-
- If you type "LSS A" then everything starting with A,
- and only that, will be shown. This is just like
- specifying "LSS A*.*".
-
- If you type "LSS AB" then everything starting with AB
- will be shown, etc.
