Some folks finally prodded me into sending this to you, though I am fearful you will pronclaim me an idiot, and yell at me for wasting your time. :)
I wrote a patch to add -O octal output to ls, and I added a logical but missing -q quiet option to mv, cp and rm (to counteract -i when it's aliased). I'm not much of a hacker, but I've been using it on several distros for months now without incident, and have passed it along to a few friends, who also report no troubles. My changelog change probably has to go, but I really think the code is clean. I offer it for your consideration. -- Michael McIntyre USDA zone 6b in SW VA, USA Silvan Pagan [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Linux Druid
