It has been developed as a native Win32 alternative to the DOS product, XTreeGold (tm), since its makers have ceased any further development. While I am sure you are well aware of the virtues of XTreeGold, you know the disadvantages of it being a 16-bit DOS program. I wrote ZTreeWin to provide all the functionality I am so accustomed to, while avoiding all the DOS imposed limitations. Given time and incentive, I intend to provide all missing functions, and will welcome suggestions from you the user. License� 컴컴컴켸 This program is NOT free. You are granted a limited licence to evaluate the product for 31 days from the date of first use. To continue using this version after 31 days, you MUST register.

Australia. Features� 컴컴컴컴� The original purpose of this program was to provide all the core functionality of XTreeGold, in a native 32-bit environment. There is NO internal editor. Instead, ZTreeWin be configured to load your favorite file editor. The default editor is EDIT.COM, and of course, text-mode applications are more suitable for this purpose. My personal favourites are: - TSE Pro/32 from Semware Corporation (http://www.semware.com) - Aurora from nuText Systems (http://members.aol.com/nutext) There is currently no mouse support, because as most Xtree fans would agree, the power of the program comes from it's fast, concise keyboard interface. However, if there is enough interest in a mouse interface, it will obviously be given serious consideration. There are several functions that are yet to be implemented. Most are, I believe, trivial services that you will probably never miss. Others are more important, and will be introduced on a most requested basis. The highlighting of commands on the last three lines of the screen should make the function support quite obvious. If there is a function missing you particularly miss, let me know. Well, that is all the bad news. Here are some improvements over the original. ZTreeWin uses around 400K of memory, and will allocate and free blocks dynamically as required (no more 'out of memory' messages). The default video mode is 25x80. The Alt-F9 command will toggle the other video modes - 43/50/60x80. You may save your current mode using F10-Configure, and you may override this and the default from the command line. Using Win32 APIs, ZTreeWin avoids several of XTreeGolds' limitations: - Doesn't hog the CPU while waiting for keyboard activity. - Trying to log an in-use device will be dealt with gracefully. - The ability to copy and search open files. - Directory Grafting works. - Support of long filenames. - Flexible support of *ANY* archiving program present and future. Being a native Win32 application, ZTreeWin loads very quickly. Installation� 컴컴컴컴컴컴� - Unzip the contents of ZTW120.ZIP to a directory of your choice. *NOTE* It is advisable to have this directory in you PATH. If you do not have a PATH defined, simply edit or create C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT and add a line: "SET PATH=C:\ZTREE" (or your chosen directory. If you install in a directory other than C:\ZTREE, you should modify the included .BAT files to reflect your selected path. - File ARCHIVER.BB2 contains configurations used to drive the archiving support of ZTreewin This file should be reviewed to verify it references archive programs you have available in the PATH. - Review the sample *.BAT files included to point them to your available applications and viewers. Samples for DWG and ICO files are included that demonstrate how to invoke XTree viewer modules. The .BAT file with the name matching the currently highlighted file will be executed when you 'O'pen the file. - The first time you run ZTW, select Alt-F10 (Configure) to set user preferences including program colors and default editor & viewer. - To run ZTreeWin from the Windows 95 or NT desktop, create a shortcut to ZTWIN.BAT. Then, edit the properties of this shortcut to specify fonts etc. - If you want to use the Alt-Q command to exit to the current directory, you *must* run a command file named ZTWIN.BAT to invoke ZTW.EXE. This file will be created in the same path as ZTW.EXE, when you issue the Alt-Q command. - Basic ZTreeWin operational help can be accessed within the program with the F1 key. Here are the command line options: (which override ZTW.INI) C:\>ZTW [/2|/4|/5|/6] [/Eeditor] [/Vviewer] [switches] [C D . Z] Meaning:[ Video Mode] [ Editor ] [ Viewer ] [Drives ] Default:[ 25 lines ] [ E.EXE ] [Internal] [current] Switches: /XT XTreePro compatible keyboard layout (+/-) /L1 Log 1st level only /LF Log method set to "full disk". /LT Log tree only /ZF Activates the last Filespec in the history instead of starting with "*.*". Multiple drives may be logged at startup, for example: C:\>ZTB /5 /XT C D E F Startup in 50 line mode, use +/- keys, log drives C, D, E & F. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 PLEASE read ZTW.HLP (F1 from within the program) for program instructions, if you are unfamiliar with XtreeGold/ZTreeWin operation. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 ********************************************************************** * NOTE: In order to use the ARCHIVING features of ZTW, you must have * * third-party archiving utilities available in your PATH. You should * * also check that ARCHIVER.BB2 contains correct archiver commands. * * To view files within an archive, you MUST have an environment * * variable for TMP defined. eg. SET TMP=C:\TMP in your autoexec.bat * ********************************************************************** Additional Information� 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Paul's Graphic Viewer (PGV) is a graphics file viewing program which integrates very nicely with ZTreeWin. Sample .BAT files have been included to demonstrate how to use PGV for file types such as BMP, GIF and JPG. The current version of PGV is v2.2b.
