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?

Alternatively, look at the OOXML debacle.

I recommend reading Rob Weir's blog, in which lately he discusses issues
regarding standards compliance and interoperability. (See, for example,
http://www.robweir.com/blog/2009/05/battle-for-odf-interoperability.html)

Regarding GNU, it IS a de-facto standard. POSIX is nice and all. But
GNU/Linux is sufficiently dominant that other Unix vendors have to be
concerned about Linux interoperability. That's a fact of life in the
Unix world.

Cheers! Hans
