;; LISPDIR ENTRY for the Elisp Archive ===============================
;;    LCD Archive Entry:
;;    dired-lisp|Sebastian Kremer|sk@thp.uni-koeln.de
;;    |emulate Tree Dired's ls completely in Emacs Lisp 
;;    |$Date: 1992/04/30 10:29:53 $|$Revision: 1.6 $|

;; INSTALLATION =======================================================
;; 
;; Put this file into your load-path.  Loading it will result in
;; redefining function dired-ls to not call ls.

;; You need tree dired from ftp.cs.buffalo.edu:pub/Emacs/diredall.tar.Z,
;; classic (e.g. 18.57) dired.el will not work.

;; OVERVIEW ===========================================================

;; This file overloads tree dired so that all fileinfo is retrieved
;; directly from Emacs lisp, without using an ls subprocess.

;; Useful if you cannot afford to fork Emacs on a real memory UNIX,
;; under VMS, or if you don't have the ls program, or if you want
;; different format from what ls offers.

;; Beware that if you change the output format of dired-ls, you'll
;; have to change dired-move-to-filename and
;; dired-move-to-end-of-filename as well.

;; With this package is loaded, dired uses regexps instead of shell
;; wildcards. If you enter regexps remember to double each $ sign.
;; For example, to dired all elisp (*.el) files, enter `.*\.el$$',
;; resulting in the regexp `.*\.el$'.

;; WARNING ===========================================================

;; With earlier version of this program I sometimes got an internal
;; Emacs error:

;;   Signalling: (wrong-type-argument natnump #<EMACS BUG: ILLEGAL
;;   DATATYPE (#o37777777727) Save your buffers immediately and please
;;   report this bug>)

;; The datatype differs (I also got #o67 once).

;; Sometimes emacs just crashed with a fatal error.

;; After I've avoided using directory-files and file-attributes
;; together inside a mapcar, the bug didn't surface any longer.

;;  RESTRICTIONS =====================================================

;; * ls switches are mostly ignored, see docstring of `dired-ls'.

;; * In Emacs 18: cannot display date of file, displays a fake date
;;   "Jan 00 00:00" instead (dates do work in Emacs 19)

;; * Only numeric uid/gid

;; * if you load dired-lisp after ange-ftp, remote listings look
;;   really strange: 
;;
;;   total 1
;;   d?????????  -1 -1       -1             -1 Jan  1  1970 .
;;   d?????????  -1 -1       -1             -1 Jan  1  1970 ..
;;
;;   This is because ange-ftp's file-attributes does not return much
;;   useful information.
;;
;;   If you load dired-lisp first, there seem to be no problems.

;; TODO ==============================================================

;; Recognize some more ls switches: R F
