Well, only if a directory or symbolic link shows up as the *last* file
in a line.  The other solution I saw, with
    ls -F | grep '[/@]$' | pr -5 -l1 -t
is probably the only way to do it in one line with existing tools.
(You need to adjust the "5" by trial-and-error.)

Another bizarre solution is:
    ls -CFd `find . '(' -type d -o -type l ')' -print`
which produces roughly the same list, if you don't mind getting
subdirectories as well.  And, I dislike having to 'ls' a file that
'find' already saw, but that's life.

Just a UN*X Hacker,
