After reading you news posting I had to go try this command on
my system and it work Ok for me, but then I am using C. E. Chew's
version of ls.c.  There was lot of trouble getting the IBM-PC
minix compile to accept it but these problem are solved now.
I consider this version of ls to be superior to the others and
well the worth the aggravation to get it debuged. I prefer it
over all the ls submitted to the news net, even over the V1.5.0
