The modification does not interfere with other output formats required by other TOPS-20 systems, such as STAT with args. The output format is similar to the Unix "ls" format, but without the protection, owner, and group info. The order is: bytecount(bytesize) lastwrite_date lastwrite_time filename bytecount is right-justified, blank-filled, in an eight-column field. bytesize is right-justified, zero-filled, in a two-column field to accommodate a 36-bit bytesize. The lastwrite_date is blank-filled. The lastwrite_time is zero-filled. filename is left-justified. Pagecount was deliberately not included as it has significance only to other TOPS-20 hosts, and that information is available with the default SMART-DIRECTORY option, which uses the STAT command with args instead of the LIST command. Thanks to Frank Wancho for making the change. Comments by email welcome.
