NewList offers the SPEED of list, and the POWER of a database.
Now directories can be sorted not only by name, but also by size or
date. Now directories can be sorted through an alphabet filter
so only certain files will be shown (like D through G). A quick
option has been added to utilize the screen space, so no more
2 column output by MR. dir. :-) Are you tired of the date format?
Now you can create your own!
Features of NewList:
1) It's PURE! NewList is REALLY quick if it's resident.
2) Very fast algorithms.
3) Completely dynamic.
4) Tons of sorts and filters (including the needed BY DATE!)
5) Full UNIX WILDCARD (n*l*s? = newlist) and character filtering.
6) A slick date construction kit with 5 premades.
7) ANSI.
8) a slick multi-columnar quick option to utilize screen space.
9) ENV: support!
10) Tons and Tons O' Flags and Switches!
ver 4.9
-Bug in stcgfp(). Had to manually catch when /* wildcard is
used. (yepp...forgot to add what I fixed in 4.5)
-Bug fix in [-q] when no files were found. (Thanx DAC)
-Bug fix with usage help screen -ss != -sd (Thanx Hari and DAC)
-Added ANSI to header and footer.
-Added [-u] disk usage. Now displays bytes used and bytes free on disk.
-Added [-gf] [-gd] [-gb] to quick option! This may sound simple, but
it took a bunch of tricks to get it to work. Note: due to
vertical sort's nature, [-v] does not work with [-gb]. It does
however work with [-gf] and [-gd].
-Added [-sc] sort by comment! Reasons...FileNotes are very handy.
They let you describe or categorize your files. One popular way
is to categorize your files by type (like Utility, NoiseTracker,
Picture, Text, etc.) With [-sc], now these categorized directories
will be grouped together. Thus all utilities will be together as well
as Pictures with Pictures, etc.
-Boy newlist sure is getting big! It's big and fast.....sorta like
Ben Johnson. I had better stop adding so many new options!
