The (GNU) ls algorithm uses variable column widths separated } with 2 spaces, whereas zsh by default uses the same column width for } all the columns separated by 3 spaces. List_packed makes the widths } variable but still keeps the spacing of 3. This is not the behavior I see. With listpacked off listtypes on I get equally-sized columns with three spaces between. With listpacked on listtypes on I *still* get equally-sized columns with three spaces between. With listpacked on listtypes off I get differently-sized columns with *two* spaces between. Finally, with listpacked off listtypes off I get equally-sized columns with *two* spaces between. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com Zsh: http://www.zsh.org | PHPerl Project: http://phperl.sourceforge.net
