For example with ls directory contents are listed as.. % zsh -f # To get rid of LS_COLORS though doesnt make any difference... aragorn% ls -F CVS/ Functions/ Src/ config.guess* configure.ac ChangeLog INSTALL StartupFiles/ config.h configure.in ChangeLog-3.1 LICENCE Test/ config.h.in install-sh* ChangeLog.3.0 META-FAQ Util/ config.log mkinstalldirs* Completion/ Makefile acconfig.h config.modules stamp-h Config/ Makefile.in aclocal.m4 config.status* stamp-h.in Doc/ Misc/ aczsh.m4 config.sub* zshconfig.ac Etc/ README config.cache configure* Listing completions for 'ls' uses more lines because it formats using one less column. aragorn% ls CVS/ LICENCE acconfig.h config.sub* ChangeLog META-FAQ aclocal.m4 configure* ChangeLog-3.1 Makefile aczsh.m4 configure.ac ChangeLog.3.0 Makefile.in config.cache configure.in Completion/ Misc/ config.guess* install-sh* Config/ README config.h mkinstalldirs* Doc/ Src/ config.h.in stamp-h Etc/ StartupFiles/ config.log stamp-h.in Functions/ Test/ config.modules zshconfig.ac INSTALL Util/ config.status* Mainly just curious why there is a difference. -- peta
