I seem to have found an answer to my own question (I'm the one that asked if
garbo was down).  Well it seems that if you us  ls  without any modifiers
like -l to get the file size it'll work well enough, it just means that
you don't know off hand if it's a directory or a file and what size it is.
So, Good Luck all and may the Farce be with you...
