I've had FASTBLIT installed for several months, and, while it hasn't
caused any strange behavior, I haven't noticed any speedups either.

FWIW, I've been using ls (3.1) for 5 or 6 months now, and have never
had it guru on me, even from the sys: directory. I've made it resident
as it gets a lot of use.

wish it was the same here. I have tried everything back down to the
distribution disk for WB and still the same. Still use it but not
in and of the sys: directory.

| I've also used ls 3.1 for a looong time and it's fine...
Try increasing your STACK.

| I am glad to see that I am not the only one that gets a task held
requester when using ls. My problem seems to be a little different. I
have 3 partitions on my system. As long as I use DIR or LIST before
using LS then everything is fine. If I try to use LS on a directory
before doing anything else to that partition then I get a task held
requester. It is very strange...

| I also use ls 3.1(now v4.0) with no problems. My stack is set in most of my
shells to 4K and it hasn't caused any crashes on my setup. I will try a
recursive listing of SYS: and see what happens.

| I also have been using ls 3.1 for a long time without any problem. The
only restriction that I have found is that it is NOT fully re-entrant
code. I have made it resident and it works correctly if you do not run
it from 2 shells at the same time.
About ls 4.0
I am not certain if I want to go to 4.0. Have you compared the size of
4.0 to 3.1, it is a pretty big jump. The only reason I currently have
to go to 4.0 is that it claims to be fully re-entrant.

| 3976.9 | WARNING ABOUT LS V4.0 - BEWARE
| DECWET::DAVIS | Lucid dreaming | Thu Aug 02 1990 13:22 | 14 |
| I entered the command "ls -T sys:", The shell returned with its prompt but no
files or directories were displayed. I tried it a couple of times with
the same results. I typed the command, "ls wb1.3"(volume label for my boot
partition), and just got the shell prompt back. MY ENTIRE PARTITION WAS
WIPED OUT. C: SYS: LIBS: L: DEVS:, etc... I tried to reboot and got the
NOT A DOS DISK requestor.
I HAD TO REFORMAT MY BOOT DRIVE!!! My other drive is okay. Luckily I had
done a full backup the night before and was going to reformat the drive in
anticipation of my new supra controller. I am going to experiment some
more with LS V4.0 later in the week but in the meantime I suggest you exercise
care when using it.
