Hello -- I've modified ls in fileutils to support a new --type option. It is similar to the -type option in find (e.g. --type=f only lists regular files, --type=c lists only character devices). I find it useful, and others might as well. I've included patches to both ls.c and fileutils.texi. If I need to do a copyright assingment form for fileutils, that's OK. Patch is against fileutils 4.0.35. -- sparky
