AUTHOR Phil Dietz PO Box 306 Yutan, NE 68073 USA email: pdietz@cse.unl.edu DESCRIPTION Newlist is my attempt at the ultimate 'list' and 'ls' replacement. Not only is Newlist very fast, very configurable, and and very powerful, but it has some unique features that makes Newlist a must for Amiga owners. Newlist is very fast. Currently, with certain flags set, it is the fastest shell printing directory lister available by seconds! Newlist allows almost complete configurability from custom header, print, and date formatting, to default ENV: settings, to complete internal string localization and editing. Currently newlist runs in 10 languages including Danish, Dutch, Elite, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Polish, and Swedish. Newlist can be emulated to run like Commodore's list, ls, LSjr, ddir, and many other listers. These aliases are included in the package. Newlist has complete WB2.0 compatibility incuding assign adds, links (soft and hard), and many other nice things. Newlist also contains some amazing new features that will revolutionize the way one uses 'ls'. See below. NEW FEATURES Version 8 was made to add full WB3.0/3.1 compatibility and power features including: -networking extensions -datatype support -numeric localization -multiuser filesystem 1.3 (mufs) -Commodore's Envoy filesystem -user definable styles for names and datatypes just like color-ls -an expert mode -and a turbo mode that speeds up shell printing by 30%! Besides these major new features, the usual bug fixes and minor enhancements have been applied all over the place. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS Newlist requires 2.04 or higher. For use of all features offered by Newlist, 3.0 is recommended.
