Hello,
I firsly wrote to <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] and Mr. Brett Smith told me to write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> . I have a suggestion : For ls, there could be an interesting option that would display the size of each folder in ls -l mode. For instance, instead of this : % ls -l total 152 drwxrwxr-x 25 user1 group1 8192 Mar 11 16:58 CETELEM drwxrwxrwx 5 user1 group1 96 Sep 19 2002 COFICA drwxrwxrwx 5 user2 group1 96 Dec 2 16:09 CVS drwxrwxrwx 13 user3 group1 8192 Sep 19 2002 DICOSE drwxrwxrwx 2 user4 group1 8192 Feb 13 20:13 DiligenSE drwxrwxrwx 8 user5 group1 8192 Feb 11 10:00 Documents_et_formations drwxrwxr-x 25 user1 group1 8192 Feb 12 15:02 International drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 96 Aug 4 2002 lost+found drwxrwxrwx 12 user6 group2 8192 Mar 25 08:00 mekong drwxrwxrwx 48 user3 group1 8192 Mar 24 10:59 OSIRIS drwxrwxr-x 15 user1 group1 8192 Mar 18 16:16 Outils drwxrwxrwx 8 user1 group1 8192 Jan 29 17:52 Partenaires drwxrwxr-t 6 user6 group1 8192 Dec 11 11:04 pegase drwxrwxrwx 4 user2 group1 8192 Mar 24 09:30 POLEDONNEE drwxrwxrwx 4 1319 group1 96 Sep 19 2002 s2p drwxrwsrwx 39 user1 group2 8192 Mar 3 08:57 se drwxrwxrwx 5 user1 group1 40960 Mar 6 11:37 temp drwxrwxr-x 2 user7 od 8192 Mar 6 16:36 TestGenSE drwxrwx--- 5 user1 group1 8192 Dec 11 12:11 Veille-technologique We could have this (with -s doing what I want) : % ls -sl total 27178816 drwxrwxr-x 25 user1 group1 ???

I created a shell script that do that, using du, but it's pretty slow (see in attachment). I'm not competent enough to program it in the ls C code. So I'm just sending you this idea, hoping that someone will develop it ! Hope I've been useful, Regards, Jonathan.
