Completely OT -- DOS and "dir"

[Eric D.]

Hi ya'll, I was so excited when I discovered something about the DOS "dir"
command that I just felt compelled to share it.

You can _sort_ the display of files by whatever criteria you specify (I used
to have a Norton utility to do that but have long since lost it). I've been
using the piece of !@#$!@# OS for 15 years now and only just discovered the
command:
dir /o:e (now mapped to ls.bat as dir /o:e %1 %2 :)

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Eric.
