a	well, it's not in any of my help files so -questions is 
the best place..  time to ask here:

how, using the find utility and no temp files, can I get a ls -lsi
listing of something like:

	"foo.tar"  andOr 
	"foo.tgz" andOr
	"foo.tar.gz"

	ive tried using -exec `ls -lsi` {} \; and xargs, and a whole
	lotsa variants.  I be beyond fried.  foo!

	gary
