Yes, that is correct.  I just pushed an update to the git repository
that avoids the use of ls and dir.  It also encodes any filenames that
contain spaces, newlines, etc.

I have not tested it thoroughly, but it does seem to work on the tests
that I have performed.  I have not tested it at all on VMS/Windows,
and it may require some tweaks on those systems.

Please consider it to be experimental.

Thanks,
