operating system, tool An
MS-DOS file browsing utility
written by Vern Buerg in 1983. A former
mainframe systems
programmer, Buerg wrote DOS utilities when he began using an
IBM PC and missed the file-scanning ability he had on
mainframes. The software became an instant success, and his
list utility was in use on an estimated 5 million PCs.
