Why not change -o's behavior too? I find the current behavior unintuitive and kind of annoying. If I specify -o, I want to see the file flags; "ls -o" producing the same output as "ls" is just ... weird. As you can see, my argument is as rational and well-supported as yours is. ;-) -- Ben UNIX Systems Engineer, Skunk Group StarMedia Network, Inc.
