Cipriani) Organization: AT&T Network Systems Lines: 17 On a related note, one thing I find irksome about the SYSV ls is that: $ ls -Rld is the same as: $ ls -ld I would like a recursive "ls -ld" this way instead of using: $ find . -type | xargs ls -ld What I find even more irksome is that the -R option is there in the first place! If you have to put it in, at least get it right! -- Larry Cipriani, att!cbnews!lvc or lvc@cbnews.att.com "Life is not a seminar." -- Thomas Sowell
