ShowFiles (SF) is yet another DIR command (written in C). It displays a sorted
and text-formatted list of files, drawers (dirs) and soft/hard-links on disk or
other storage medium. It will also display their additional information such as
size, date, possible comment, executable header type (68k or PPC program),
protection-bits, etc, etc.

It supports a number of different options/switches, after installation in the
Shell, please type "sf HELP" (or "sf --help") for listing all options/switches.
Or look in the .doc-file in the archive.

Special notes for this release
------------------------------
- ALL option is in BETA.
- This release was focused on stability and error handling.
- CHANGE: All one-single-letter options such as a, -m, /P are now case
sensitive, where as non-single-letter options are not. Reason for this
is because available free letters are becomming scarce for more options.
- Changed single letter option h to ?, because of above reason.
- ADDED: 68K, --68k, -6 and /6 option(s) for only listing all 68k executables.
- ADDED: PPC, --ppc, -P and /P option(s) for only listing all PPC (ELF)
executables.
