But in fact one does exist - look at the lsh package. Example:

joey@kite:~>ls
debian/   dl/       doc/      gnustep/  html/     mail/     prog/     work/
joey@kite:~>lsh
C>ls
debian   dl       doc      gnustep  html     mail     prog     work

C>dir

 Volume in drive C is too loud
 Volume Serial Number is EF53-00FF

debian       <DIR>     10-05-97   1:50p
