Hi All.
The V7 ls.c ignores `.' and `..', unless given the -a option.
The V1 - V6 ls ignores all files that start with `.', unless given -a,
and this is the default for all modern versions of ls.
BWK tells me there's a story about the V7 behavior but he doesn't
remember what it is. Does anyone here know?
I suppose this is related to [1]. I suppose Rob can give more details
as he wrote the original post.
