I have several flavors of LS emulator, everything from DOSNIX to XANADU, but
what I am looking for is a STAT or DIR command that returns the directory entry
"Peter Norton" style A LA the PCSHELL / Norton Utility style of
what file info
is actually there, rather than the sad little command that MS-DOS gives you, or
the UNIX-style stat() commands that return with half of their fields empty
nulls (A LA DOS PERL, for example).
