In some cases it looks better, in some cases it looks worse. Here's an example where it looks better: $ old-ls -l a b c -rw-r--r-- 1 99 109 0 Apr 15 00:20 a -rw-r--r-- 1 1000000 9999999 0 Apr 15 00:20 b -rw-r--r-- 1 99999999 10000000 0 Apr 15 00:20 c $ new-ls -l a b c -rw-r--r-- 1 99 109 0 Apr 15 00:20 a -rw-r--r-- 1 1000000 9999999 0 Apr 15 00:20 b -rw-r--r-- 1 99999999 10000000 0 Apr 15 00:20 c as integers are usually printed right-adjusted, not left-adjusted. I agree that your example looks a bit outre, but then the data were pretty outre too. One possible change would be to right-adjust the numbers, but to have their right margin be at a minimal location. That would cause the output to have the "clean formatting" that you suggested, while still preserving the right-adjustedness of numbers in the example above. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
