! Quick directory listings
!
READIR is a program modelled after the fast directory program on
the  DEC-10  called  D.  When run, READIR prints out a condensed
directory listing on the terminal.   Only  the  current  default
directory  is  listed, and no mechanism exists to list any other
directory.  The file names are output in upper/lower case format
for  high  legibility, and as many names as possible are printed
on a single line.  Each file name appears only once.   If  there
are multiple versions of a file, the version numbers are stacked
onto a single copy of the file name.  This  format  allows  very
long and full directories to fit on a single screen.
2 Author
READIR was written by Kevin Carosso of  the  OMNIGRAPH  project.
READIR is supplied and supported by the OMNIGRAPH project (where
all good things happen).  Any problems with or  questions  about
READIR should be reported by MAIL to OMNIGRAPH.
2 Execution
READIR can be executed by typing:

        $ R TOOLS:READIR

Since this is not an easy command to type, most people equate  a
symbol (usually D) to this command.

This can be done with the following command:

        $ D :== $TOOLS:READIR

The source to the READIR program is kept in the file:
