[ale] how do I list big files

Sun Mar 20 09:54:14 EDT 2011

Please tell me if these presumptions are true:

a) You meant to put the "2" in there.
b) This will only send errors to a black hole, not all text.
c) It's impossible to do this and also send the results to the text file.

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
