25 ;;;; WARNING:
27 ;;;; With earlier version of this program I sometimes got an internal
28 ;;;; Emacs error:
30 ;;;; Signalling: (wrong-type-argument natnump #<EMACS BUG: ILLEGAL
31 ;;;; DATATYPE (#o37777777727) Save your buffers immediately and please
32 ;;;; report this bug>)
34 ;;;; The datatype differs (I also got #o67 once).
36 ;;;; Sometimes emacs just crashed with a fatal error.
38 ;;;; After I've avoided using directory-files and file-attributes
39 ;;;; together inside a mapcar, the bug didn't surface any longer.
41 ;;; RESTRICTIONS:
42 ;;;; ls switches are mostly ignored
43 ;;;; Cannot display date of file, displays a fake date "Jan 00 00:00" instead
44 ;;;; Only numeric uid/gid
45 ;;;; Loading ange-ftp breaks it
47 ;;;; It is surprisingly fast, though!
49 ;;;; TODO:
50 ;;;; Recognize at some more ls switches: R F
