+Sl (ls with enhancements)
+
+sl takes the most common use of Unix ls, to display the files in a
+directory compactly in multiple columns, and makes it substantially
+more useful.
+
+sl groups files by purpose so you can mentally organize many files
+quickly; for instance, it collects HTML and PHP files together, as
+opposed to leaving them mixed up with supporting images, CSS, and
+JavaScript. sl points out interesting files, which include those that
+have been recently modified, read relatively recently, are relatively
+large, have warnings, or need to be checked in to or out of version
+control.
+
+sl is also aesthetically pleasing due to attention to layout and
+filtering as well as limiting color and text annotations to salient
+information.
+
+Since there's already an "sl" on SlackBuilds.org (in games/), this is
+called Sl. If you install it on a system that doesn't have games/sl
+installed, a /usr/bin/sl symlink will be created.
+
+The ".sl.tcl" referred to in the documentation is installed in the doc
+dir as "sl.tcl.example".
