FLIST, TOOLS, File-List Manager FLIST (directory-editor) provides you, the user with a powerful and versatile interface to VAX/VMS. Rather than the line-oriented, "glass teletype", FLIST is a full-screen editor which shows the effects of commands rapidly and naturally. It provides both interfaces to VAX/VMS file management commands (EDIT, COPY, RENAME) as well as extensions to the command interface to better integrate VMS commands, and to augment them o Directory sorting shows you the relationship between files based on their directory-attributes (e.g., size, date). o Alternate display formats (from a palette of directory-attributes) can easily be constructed. o A built-in command history and parameter substitution facility makes FLIST simple to learn and easy to use. o Commands which alter or create files are reflected in the display, which is updated automatically for most operations.
