My question doesn't specifically deal with palm development except for the fact that 
my app is running on a palm, but a sincere thanks to anyone who reads and/or responds 
anyway in spite of this.

My app has a little bit of FTP functionality and I've noticed that I get different 
results to a LIST command on different servers. For example, on one server I would get 
back something like:
03-16-04 07:39PM 396353 SomeFile.xml
while on another server the response would be:
-rw-r--r-- 1 sometext sometext 396353 Mar 16 7:39 SomeFile.xml

So my question would have to be, is there any way of knowing, out of however many 
different types of responses there are out there, which response type will come back 
so my app doesn't inexplicably crash when I get a response I haven't seen and 
therefore haven't hard coded how to read?
