Directory Usage / Tree Utils, Dir Listers
B_DIR — Directory/statistics file lister.
"This is a command line program that is to be used to view the contents of a directory. This program is designed to be an alternative for DIR. It has also has almost all of the functionality of DIR. The reason I wrote the program was because I disliked DIR and I wanted an easy way to view the information contained in a directory. Like DIR, you can also set default switches in an environment variable."

DIRP — Display executable programs in a directory.
"DIRP is essentially the same as the standard DIR command. However, DIRP will only list programs (i.e. those files which can be executed).
I find that this program helps enormously when you change into a directory with tens or hundreds of files, or when you have decompressed an archive which has just filled your directory with all sorts of files. You can see at a glance what program to run."

HPFSdate — HPFS directory display utility.
"HPFSdate is a 'dir'-like utility, but unlike 'dir' it displays all three timestamps of files: Creation-, LastAccess and LastWrite- dates, like available on HPFS volumes.

Full path, filesize and attributes are presented of all files, including system, hidden and read-only files."
