T R E E S I Z E P r o f e s s i o n a l ========================================= Version 2.1 TreeSize Professional is a powerful and flexible harddisk space manager for Windows 95/98/NT. Find out which folders are the largest on your drives and recover Megabytes on it. Treesize Professional shows you the size, allocated and wasted space, the number of files, 3D bar charts and pie charts, the last access date and much more information for several folders or drives you choose. It also searches for old, big and temporary files on your hard disks. The application has an intuitive Explorer-like user interface and it is fast and multithreaded. You can print detailed reports or export the collected Data to Excel or a text file. TreeSize Pro can be started from the context menu of every folder or drive.

Here's a ist of known bugs and problems: * Direct export to Excel 95 will only work, if the default language for OLE Automation in Excel 95 is english. All localized versions (e.g. German or French) have localized OLE commands, that means I need to know French or Chinese OLE commands to automate the localized versions. I'm not sure if I will find a solution for this problem. But It works fine with all versions of Excel 97. * If you have installed WS FTP Professional V5.0 or higher, this software installs two new folders with FTP Connections, one of them below 'Desktop' or 'My Computer' and an other in 'Program Files\Ws_ftp'. When you now scan your Program Files folder with TreeSize Professional, the Ws_Ftp shell extensions try to connect to all listed FTP servers. To solve this problem, you can delete the folder 'Program Files\Ws_ftp\FTP Connections' with the Explorer, it is not necessary, because there is still the same folder under 'Desktop' available.

Therefore it is important, that you uninstall any beta version of TreeSize Professional 2, before you install this version. * Some minor changes Version 2.0 beta 5: Released on May 19 1998 * Fixed a problem which caused the error message 'Invalid argument to date encode' on some servers >16GB * Fixed a problem which produced wrong results for folder sizes on some Netware servers * Fixed a problem with export to Excel 95 * Now a manual as Word document is included * Some other minor problems fixes Version 2.0 beta 4: Released on Apr 24 1998 * Added Checkboxes to the File Search lists to make it easier to delete multiple files * The main window and the search window now appear individually in the windows task bar * You can add additional (UNC) paths to the drive list of the search window * You can now exclude the header when exporting.
