I don't know if you have even heard of this operating system named OpenVMS by HP. Unfortunately or maybe fortunately I have had a chance to work on it. The operating system has a cool feature, file version is built into the OpenVMS file system. But the problem with this is that if you go into a log directory and list out files, the list could get really long.
I was just trying to make it display things that I usually use on Linux.
ls -lrt
I ended up writing this to get most of what i wanted.
but the sort bit just wouldn't happen.
dir fma_fe_prt_* /versions=1 /date=modified /owner /size /protection
So I looked it up online and it seems like there has to be a script to do this. Not straightforward. As we are not going to be working on OpenVMS too often, I just don't care how they do it.
So I just did a search for some help on it and found that there are people using a similar idea, but it had to be scripted.
