Vernon Buerg "List" clone for "C"

Assuming you're talking about the program http://www.buerg.com/list.htm describes...well, it's very thoroughly counter to the Unix philosphy of "each program does just one thing and does it well". At a minimum, it would have to include the equivalent of - or be prepared to fork and process output from - tip/chat ("dialer"), tar/pax/cpio/ar/etc (the various archive features), lpr/lprng/etc (printing), grep/egrep/etc (searching), find (directory tree walking), hexdump (looking at things in hex), and possibly others (for example, I don't know what "network compatible" is supposed to mean). This probably could be done, but it would be a pretty horrible mess. Perhaps. You probably would be better off, in the long run, learning to use the full power of the existing tools, though; you'll be able to do things with them that LIST cannot do[%], the skill gained will be fairly directly portable to other Unix systems (as opposed to having to install the LIST-alike), and you will learn a good deal about the underlying OS in the process. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse(a)rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B [%] At least based on the advertised list of features.
