ls - Windows NT directory listing utility
Author: Jon S. Whalen (c) 1993
internet: jon@hook.corp.mot.com
compuserve: 76665,3043
6 March 1993
Release 1.0 'ls.exe'
DOCUMENTATION:
It's a Unix ls work-alike, although some options are different
or absent. Use the '-?' command line argument for details. The
executable included is compiled for i386. It should be Unicode
compatible, but I haven't tested it.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES:
<None>
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS:
See DOCUMENTATION above.
IMPLEMENTATION:
This was developed with the October beta release of Windows NT.
This is all new code, and uses the Win32 API, not POSIX. The
code is correct, to the best of my ability to test it, but not
particularly efficient.
AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT:
-The sorting routine is a hack. I should use a quick sort.
-Default display is alphabetic across (rather than down) columns.
-There should be an option to group directories together.
-There should be an option to list sub-directories recursively.
-There should be an option to display Creation or LastAccess time
instead of LastModify time in the long listing format.
-I'm sure there are other options that might be useful.
Maybe POSIXify it? (re: the command line args, I mean)
