You can specify whether XTree should start with the directory display or the applications menu. From here you can customise the program to your preferences. The XTree Configuration Memu is entered with Alt-F10. The version number can be found in Help, which in these versions is accessed by F2, not F1. But in early versions this shows you only the author - the brilliant Jeffrey C. To find out which version of XTree you are using, hold down the Ctrl and Alt keys. These tips will be based mainly on XTreeGold 2.5 and 3.0 many of them will not work on earlier versions of the program. So if you have an XTree tip which you would like to pass on, please put it on paper or, preferably, disk and send it to Barrie Towey.
I have no wish to claim a monopoly on this series, and I certainly do not know all there is to know about XTree. They are designed primarily for people who are reasonably familiar with XTree, in the hope that they will enable you to get even more out of the program. Below you will find the first of a series of XTree Tips. XTree uses a myriad of commands, and not everyone will be familiar with all of them indeed, some of the more useful commands aren't even fully documented. At a gathering of about a dozen expert PC users that I attended recently, it was interesting to note that every one was using XTree. XTree Gold now contains an application menu system which allows it to be used as a front end to DOS, and as such it is vastly superior to MSDOS's Shell or DRDOS's Viewmax. But unlike some programs, each stage of its evolution - XTree, XTreePro, XTreePro Gold and now XTree Gold in version 3.0 - has added invaluable new functions that I would hate to be without. It started from small beginnings - the size of XTree 2.0 was just 43 KB - and has grown in stages until today XTreeGold occupies 3 MB of my hard disk. XTree describes itself as "a tool for managing your files, directories and disks". XTree family: XTree, XTree Pro, XTree Pro Gold and XTree Gold. They relate in particular to XTree Gold 2.5 and XTree Gold 3.0,Īlthough many of them will also apply to earlier versions of programs in the Osborne Owners Group (BOOG), edited by Barrie Towey.
