[edit] Claims not supported by references
It was quickly incorporated into Emacs, re-implemented in other operating systems, and became the basis for modern windows oriented file directory displays.
This says three things:
- While there is a sense that Emacs incorporated ideas from dired, none of the references point out what, or when. (Emacs documentation does not mention the dired program).
- The reference mentioning Stan Kugell does not provide any information that would indicate that it was for a different operating system. The statement uses a plural; only one example is given (and as noted, it is flawed).
- Separate from the two examples (Emacs and the other program), there are no examples or references given to support the statement that it "became the basis", etc.
