A date ordered directory listing facility is essential,
eg. to find which files were accidentally written into a
partition in a LNO install attempt. You would just search
for the newest files.
I have to use 2 extra steps:
1. transform the date format from DD.MM.YYYY
to YYYY.MM.DD to be sortable,
2. Sort
And it seems that the Sort utility was not included in N-O
ver 2001 ? I believe I've had to copy several utilities from
olders [ V 2.3.2, 2.3.6] versions.
Like Find.Panel was not included in ver 2001.
Apparently because eg. *PPP* files aren't found
[i.e. leading "*" in file ID is not correctly handled].
These basic utilities are important !
Since ETH's task is to produce students, and the software,
which we outsiders want, is just a waste/by-product,
we'll have to fix it ourselves. But we need a structure
to coordinate outside [of ETH] collaboration.
