Hello,

I am new to the Free BSD way and found the human readable format I am used
to seeing on most Unix OS does not work on BSD.

For example:

> ls -lah
ls: illegal option -- h
usage: ls [-ABCFGHLPRTWabcdfgiklnoqrstu1] [file ...]
>


Is there any command or plug-in I can use that will enable this or use as an
alternative?

Customers and users only understand bytes and megabytes, so I am sure you
can understand my problem.

Sincerely,

Angus
