On AIX, our listview appears to only have the -h, -s and -a options. Syntax: listview [-h] [-s] [-a] file1 file2... I would find the -e and -s options useful also, as described in the 1.8e manual: listview [-a] [-e[h]] [-h] [-r nnnn] [-s] file1 file2... Is the newer source available on the ftp site somewhere? -- Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
