I noticed that rm's new --interactive=[WHEN] option didn't work properly
in some cases. For example, this use of rm would prompt, contradicting
the semantics of --interactive=never:
$ touch unwritable
$ chmod -w unwritable
$ rm --interactive=never unwritable
rm: remove write-protected

Hi,
Under Mac OS X 10.4.8 with ls (GNU coreutils) 5.97 (installed via
MacPorts), in a 80-column terminal (uxterm), I get:

Jim,
That did the trick. The coreutils tarball you provided builds (and tests)
without a hitch on the same AIX 4.3 system.
Thanks for the fix :)

How Can I list sort by Size.
Best bet might be to join the people wanting 'sort' to sort more
intelligently. :-) Like, for example, understanding how to sort
human-readable sizes.
This would help out 'du' also...

Yes, sure. I was only pointing out that the proposed change wouldn't need

Long ago I regularly used terminal emulators that mishandled tabs.
Eventually they got fixed (or I stopped using them).
Long ago I used terminals where the tab stops were customizable, and the
