fileutils-4.1 is quite old; it has since merged with sh-utils and textutils to become coreutils 5.96.

Just wondering if > you would like my source updates to ls.c. Thanks for the idea. However, the entry bar for adding new options to ls is VERY high, especially if it burns another short option letter. You are welcome to post your patch, but unless it adds only a long option (you can use aliases or abbreviations to save typing), and is against CVS head, which will become coreutils 6.0, it has little chance of acceptance upstream. That said, there is nothing stopping you from continuing to use it yourself - after all, that is one of the benefits of open source software. Also, have you looked into the find utility, part of the findutils package? It can already do what you are looking for, which is recursively printing filenames with absolute paths. -- Eric Blake _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
