Re: qshell, ls, sort by size

Hans,

So it's your position that the fact that ls doesn't work the same as 
Linux should be regarded as a bug and reported to IBM as such?  Despite 
that there's a really easy way to solve the problem that will work on i 
and all Unix systems?

That's your position?

Or are you really just trying to create an argument?
