ls
Or, to actually List it:
ls -l

Dont forget to show hidden files/folders with:
ls -la


Chill.

PS, try:
man ls

He definitely is, that is for sure! :D

But then, I suspect that Graham is as well because I cannot find any mention of LIST for DOS on my MS-DOS command websites or in Google. ;-)

Come on Graham, 'fess up -- where is this LIST thing for DOS? :p

You have been quiet lately! I'll reply to your email soon, things have been a bit traumatic here for a week or so .

If you are looking for List, try either

This site ( . uv . tietgen . dk/staff/mlha/Download/DOS/" target="_blank">www . uv . tietgen . dk)

or if that link 404's www . uv . tietgen . dk/staff/mlha/Download/DOS/+%22list+file+manager%22+-mail+-mailing&hl=en&ie=UTF-8] ( . google . co . nz/search?q=cache:Lb1B1Hn1QP8J:[url" target="_blank">www . google . co . nz) try this instead [/url]

This site ( . liaokai . com/softw_en/dos . htm" target="_blank">www . liaokai . com) is a larger file offering similar features .

You will have to scroll about halfway down the page in each case, and the first file is much smaller than the second .

Frankly I don't understand why anybody would want to work completely at the command line anymore when ZTree offeres mouse options as well as command line activity in a program designed to work in a modern (read DOS free) Windows environment . I consider it a bit retro to even use ZTree myself but it makes some jobs so easy that I have it installed on every computer I own .

For example, if you view something *interesting* on the net and would like to keep it without going to a formal download, ZTree will find it in seconds wherever it may be in your temporary internet files just by doing a global search and ordering by date . It will be right up at the top of the list .

If Windows or Word have crashed, you can use the same technique to find copies of the file you were working on, or even scraps of it provided thay were created by Word or whatever or auto saved .

I recently found a copy of a technical presentation I had prepared (in fact I found about seven, each one a little more complete than the one before and the last was the full work . I tried a "Windows" search for known text elements but that failed miserably . Ztree found it in a couple of minutes, and let me view the content of each file instantly so that I could check the text at the end to see how far it went .

It takes a little time to learn for non-XTree users, and I have the benefit of a full XTree manual as well that I bought at DSE for peanuts after XTree disappeared, but it is well worth the effort . It even allows word searches within hex files which is great if you want to hack some messages . My boot disks all say what program they are booting for, instead of simply saying "starting MS Dos" or PC Dos etc . For example, when I boot to create an image it says "Starting Norton Ghost" .

Cheers

I'm convinced, I need to look at this . A recent struggle with a large corrupted word file (one I sweated hours over) is too fresh in my memory to pass this one over . Ah, download finished .

No problem, I know the feeling very well. :-(

Regarding List: ah! so it is a program for DOS rather than a DOS command? That figures then. Was curious, is all.

Like Murray, I'm thinking I ought to look into ZTreeWin v1.49.2, especially now that it can be used in Win XP. I did look at a previous version a couple of years ago but it was way over my head so I didn't spend too much time with it. :8} Maybe this time I will understand it a bit more. <starts downloading>

BTW, I trust that CardFile is serving you well these days.....?? ]:)
