It works with AT&T's version of ls, apparently. I'm pretty sure it doesn't work with either BSD ls or GNU ls, though, so I'm not sure how it ended up being mentioned in this discussion. > > Running FreeBSd 8.1 stock ls. > > On the other hand, ls -lD "%F %T %Z" does nicely. . . . and you can easily alias that to lsd for easier use (and a chuckle). Note that this doesn't work with GNU ls, because Stallman and MacKenzie in their infinite wisdom decided GNU ls needed -D to produce output tailored to some Emacs functionality. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ]
