DirKing A very powerful replacement for the AmigaDOS 'List' and 'Dir'
commands. It gives full control on the format of the directory
listing and what information should be printed. The directory
can be sorted on any field, or on several fields in the order
you want. Supports many filters, such as name and date, and
the filters can be made effective on files only, directories
only or on both. You can also define a pattern for each level
of the directory tree. Has an LFORMAT option which is useful
for generating scripts. A unique feature is the ability to
monitor the scanning process. English version supplied,
German, French and Dutch versions available from the author.
Version 2.12e, an update to version 2.11e on disk number 784.
Binary only, shareware.

files very easy. Version 2.12, binary only, shareware.
