I originally wrote the first version of ExtraDOS under MS-DOS because I found a need for them and there were no commercially available products which provided these functions. Some ExtraDOS tools were designed to enhance programs already found in MS-DOS. Other tools were familiar to the Unix world, but were not available in MS-DOS. In addition, ExtraDOS compliments PC-Tools and Norton Utilities with added tools these programs do not provide. ExtraDOS has grown and added many new programs and features over the past 6 years and now includes over 50 utilities. Over thirty of the ExtraDOS Toolbox utilities have been selected by Paul Somerson, former Executive Editor of PC Magazine, for Bantam Books', DOS Power Tools, 2nd Edition, Revised and Expanded for DOS 5.0.

FILETREE - Display DOS File Structure ___________________________________________________________ Description FILETREE is a utility which will scan the directory structure of a disk and give a top down tree listing of the entire disks directory structure. It groups the listing in a left to right fashion with each subdirectory moving further right across the screen. Pressing [CTRL]C during the scan will halt the program. Version 2.01 10/03/91 Command Format FILETREE [d:] where d: is the drive to scan TECHNICAL SUPPORT ___________________________________________________________ Many times we get calls from people asking questions that can be solved easily by checking through the manual before calling tech support. We ask that you browse the manual and look for information pertaining to your particular problem before calling. This can often save you time, as we take a collection of our most common questions and try to address them in this manual. We offer alternative methods in addition to the conventional phone support, such as a multi-line 24-hour BBS system. We also monitor most technical conferences in the BBS Interlink and RelayNet networks as well as many of the conferences on the CompuServe Information System. You may send messages and questions via any of these services. Currently our Tech Support office is staffed Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. There is a chance, however, that someone is in the office outside of this time frame. If so, we will gladly answer your questions outside the normal business hours.

Many times someone would see me using them and ask for a copy. This was a big mistake. All of the sudden I had to debug my code. Someone would call me up and remind me of some problem with a utility that I had written or asked me to just add this one little feature. Six years later the package has evolved to its current state. Along the way I have had the help of many people in testing and ideas for products. I would like to thank all of those people who have of course registered these utilities as this is now a new incentive for continuing to expand them. More specifically I'd like to thank the following people: Kathy Smith. For her never ending understanding and support of this time consuming project. Jay Wessel. Relentless Testing & suggestions. Jay's never ending pursuit to find bugs and abnormalities in the programs is always appreciated. Mike Blaszczak. "Nifty James" shareware author who had some good ideas of which we have expanded upon. Mike is responsible for the original versions of CHIMES, EVAL and FILEFIND. Mike Viens. Mike was the original author of the NAMEDIR and FILEATTR programs. His original utilities where known as the FANTASTIC utilities. Mike Molloy. AREA was based on Mike's original FAC area code TSR. Mike has updated the AREA program with many new features as well as helping with the SHELL and INTERACTIVE Mode programs. Credits _________________________________________________________ Bill McKee. Bill helped write and update many of the ExtraDOS utilities including CLEANUP, BROWSE and SHELL. Ross Wentworth. Ross has been a key help in developing the 4.0 release of this product including work on most of the TSR and Device Driver programs. Ross has worked on ALARMCLK, BOOTLOCK, BOOTPAST, BRKBOX, CHIMES, CLEANFL, CURLOCK, CURSOR, CUTPASTE, DELAY, FILEINFO, SCROLLBK, TURBOBAT, USEMEM. PC Magazine. PC Magazine has inspired some of these utilities with good ideas published in the technical articles seen in every issue. Some of our utilities taken an idea of a program that they have published and built a very usable utility from it.
