A-Shell Consolidated Reference

This switch, /NA{TIVE}{:len}, displays files in the native format of the host operating system. The len sub-parameter (default 24) determines the maximum display width for the filespecs. If the filename exceeds that, it is terminated with ">" just as when /NATIVE is not used. This switch was added in DIR.LIT 3.0(140), A-Shell build 990 of 10 June 2007.

/NA{TIVE} causes the following other effects:

"Incompatible files" are treated like any other files (i.e. displayed instead of skipped).
File sizes are shown in bytes instead of blocks
File names are shown in upper and lower case as they really are.
When combined with /D, displays entire path for each file. Otherwise, displays just the filename + extension(s) (but for each new directory, displays the directory in native format instead of the DEV:[p,pn] format.)
/W will default to /W:2
