[Coco] Source Code for ls

[William Carlin]

Bill,

Thank you for searching for the source code for ls.  I have source code for
a different version of ls that was developed in 1990 by Chris Strickland.
I made modifications to it in 2016 to make the long format listing Y2K
compliant.  It is also modified so that if the file or directory name is
long enough to run past the 80th column on an 80x24 screen it will print a
backslash and then on the next line print the file or directory name
preceded by a plus symbol.  The executable has been renamed to ls2 so as
not to confuse it with the other ls.  I have attached the archive with my
modifications in case you or someone else in the list are interested.  I
also took care to keep Mr. Strickland's original copyright notice intact
and documented my changes with comments at the appropriate places within
the source code
