Ok, here is my question to the net. Why does ls -C Sometimes
NOT print across the screen? Most of the time when I enter
a ls -C I get a nice diretory like:
News fvps.c h19 mbox vps.c
But some times a directory will list one per line on me. What does
ls make this decision on? I have seen this behavior on both at&t 3b2
machines and on Tandy 6000 machines. (sys V on one Xenix 3 on the latter)
Any thoughts???
