Summary: sysV ls(1) use

For those of you with System V Release 2 Unix (or derivatives thereof),
"ls -b" will print non-graphic characters in filenames in octal \ddd notation.
This is much simpler than ls'ing, then vi'ing or piping through cat -v.
For those without system V.2 ls, another way is to "od ." . You will see
some extra junk, but the filenames should be recongnizable, and followed
by \000.
