Reply-to: nathanr AT pacbell DOT net

After reading several complaints about the DIR command in OpenDOS, 
I've decided to go ahead and make the program I've been 
using available.  It's called D, and it more-or-less follows the same 
command syntax, and supports the same options, as the MS-DOS DIR 
command.  You can download it from:

It's written in Turbo Pascal 6.0, and my code isn't all that 
efficient, so it probably isn't the swiftest thing in the world.  It
also has some differences from DOS 5.0, but you should be able to do
anything with it that you can do with the MS-DOS DIR command. (with
some minor habit re-learning)

Make sure to RTFM, at least the "Pitfalls" section.

Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes.
That way, when you do criticize him,
you'll be a mile away and have his shoes.
