When you use the -F option to ls in unix you get an additional character
attached to the end of a file's name if it's an executable (the character
is '*') or if it's a directory ('/').

Is there a way to have dired display filenames with these characters
appended to them?

Meaning, dired would display things like:

  -rw-------  1 dyoung        127 Nov 30 13:26 .rnsoft
  drwxr-xr-x  2 dyoung        512 Nov 16 11:16 News/        <- see the '/'
  -rwx------  1 dyoung       1003 Jan 12 15:21 mumble*      <- see the '*'


thanks,

david
