Hi

I'm a Unix/Windows user and I'm constantly entering the wrong commands into
the command prompt in XP....
How can I make "ls" do the same thing as "dir" in command prompt windows?

Does Unix recognize the 'dir' command and if so, does it do the same thing
as in Windows?..

If you can get the Windows 2000 Server kit you'll find a win32 port of =
ls. A posix ls has been distributed with all versions of NT except XP. =
With the removal of posix in the next version (XP) MS ported the posix =
tools. Note both are on the CD - 1 posix and one Win32.

Plus there is another port in the Win98 resource kit as well (as 98 has =
never done posix)
