ShowFiles (SF) 0.92 released

Date 2012/12/12 18:25:26 | Topic: Software News

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 ELF program), protection-bits, etc, etc.


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

(ShowFiles was previously named (DF) DisplayFiles.)
