ls -lR summary generator (nawk & sed)

THe enclosed little shell script uses sed and nawk to take the output of
ls -l or ls -lR (sysV or BSD) and produce output that looks like
Sep86 42.0K arp
Sep86 16.4K biod
Sep86 45.3K chown
Dec87 (sym) config -> /usr/etc/config
Sep86 24.3K cron

which can then be printed in multiple columns (for example).

It's an example of using awk to post-process ls output, something I seem
to do once every couple of years...  Please, no perl one-liner equivalents!

I also have a version of pr (sort of) that works out how many columns
to use on a per-page basis, with which this is very effective.  Mail me
if you want it -- it was written by a friend and posted (as "pf") to
net.sources in 1984 I think.  Saves lots of paper, & good for C where
the single brace at the end of the file might otherwise have been on a
page by itself :-(

Anyway, here is lsabbrev.
