DIR command output????

Is there any way to make the output from the DIR command show more

information about the files in the current directory? I would expect to see

output much like the real DOS command where it shows columns of information

that include the filename, date, and file size in a vertical flowing format.

It seems that the DIR command in FoxPro is designed to work with DBF files

be default, and it does show more info about those files.

However, if you use Dir *.*, then what FoxPro spits out is some dorky

sideways list of just file names, without the date and filesize. It's just

really hard to read. What were they thinking?

Has anyone developed a better DIR command for VFP????
