Isn't this strange? The reason I'm fiddling with this, btw, is that I am trying to write a new function that can replace find-dired on Windows platforms when find and ls does not exist. I have a working version using cmd.exe's "for" command, but I am still dependent on a natively compiled version of ls. If I could use ls-lisp.el to use the output from "for" (basically a list of file names, including path) to produce output that dired-mode likes. If anyone is interested in the code, I can post it here too. Mathias Dahl
