I have two FreeBSD boxes - one that will accept the -G switch for ls,
and one that won't. I'm curious about the differences in the versions of
ls regarding this. Here's the uname outputs:

accepts ls -G:
FreeBSD *.*.* 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #1: Thu May 11 20:41:07 CDT
2000    root@*.*.*:/usr/src/sys/compile/*  i386

doesn't accept ls -G:
FreeBSD *.*.* 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #0: Mon Jun 12 18:45:29 CDT
2000     root@*.*.*:/usr/src/sys/compile/*  i386

Both of the man pages look the same except for the mention of G as a
choice for a switch.
