Guess who this is ?

A little problem i have with colorls.

It seems to loose it's fuctionality when piped though more or less.  Is this
the way it just is, because if it is, colorls is pretty useless, as most
directories are more than a screenfull long.  Plus, I wish to suggest it as a
useful aid to newbies, as a bit of color can help to discern filetype
differences etc.

Any tricks i should know about colorls ??

TIA
