-
- XTreeGold 3.0 has arrived!
-
- Thank you for purchasing XTreeGold 3.0, the most powerful file and disk
- manager available!
-
- These notes provide additions and late information for the User's Guide.
-
- Some of the New Features introduced with XTreeGold 3.0...
-
- * Progress Bars - Progress bars are now displayed during file
- and disk operations.
-
- * ZIP 2.0 Support - Create Zip files that span multiple diskettes.
- This lets you Zip files that are larger than the
- size of a diskette.
-
- * Zedit Text Editor - New mouse supported Zedit text editor allows you
- to edit multiple files, split and arrange edit
- windows, edit larger files than 1WORD, record and
- play keyboard macros and more. To run Zedit
- text editor instead of 1WORD, use the configuration
- program (XTG_CFG.EXE) or use the ALT F10 configure
- command to change the default editor path of Z.EXE,
- typically installed in C:\XTGOLD. Refer to the
- ZEDIT.TXT file for information on how to use Zedit.
-
- * New File Compare - With JFC you can compare the contents of two text
- files side by side in split windows. You can
- quickly jump into ZEDIT from JFC with a keystroke,
- and find yourself at the exact point that you were
- comparing.
-
- * Quick Format - New format option allows you quickly erase all
- data on formatted diskette.
-
- * Format 2.88 disks - The format command now supports formatting 2.88 mb
- diskettes. You must have a 2.88mb Disk drive to
- select the new "Extra" density option.
-
- * Compare Branch - This new command tags all the files in one
- branch that are unique and newer than the files in
- another branch.
-
- * Paradox 4 Viewer - Now supports viewing Paradox 4.0 files.
-
- * WordPerfect 6.0 - Now supports viewing WordPerfect 6.0 files.
-
- * Tag/Untag Branch - Now you can tag, untag, and invert files in a
- branch in one step by using the CTRL+F7, +F8,
- or +F9 commands from the Directory Window.
-
- * New Print Options - You can now redirect the printer output to any
- valid device or to a file named TEMPFILE in the
- XTGOLD directory using the new print options.
-
- * Date Filespec - Now you can enter a date in the filespec command
- to filter your list of files. For example:
- Press F for filespec and type either >8-09-93
- <8-09-93 =8-09-93 to see files greater than,
- less than and equal to 8-09-93 respectively.
-
- * LogSpec option - New command line switch allows you to conserve
- memory when logging large drives such as CDs.
- XTree will only log specified files.
-
- o XTreeGold 3.0 is distributed on three 3.5" low density diskettes.
-
- o Upgrading from XTreeGold 2.5
- If you are upgrading from XTreeGold 2.5, you should copy and replace
- the following files from your XTreeGold 2.5 to your new XTreeGold 3.0
- directory:
-
- XTGOLD.CFG Configuration settings
- XTG_MENU.DAT Menu data file
- XTGOLD.HST History file
-
- If you have already installed over your version of XTreeGold
- 2.5, your XTGOLD.CFG file has been saved as XTGOLD.SAV and your
- XTG_MENU.DAT file has been saved as XTG_MENU.SAV. Verify that
- these files exist, then copy or rename the files to their
- appropriate name.
-
- XTreeGold modifies these files while running and saves
- these files when you exit XTreeGold. Therefore, if you
- are copying or renaming the above files in order to restore
- previous settings, you should do so from the DOS command line
- using the DOS COPY and/or RENAME commands - do not use XTreeGold
- to copy the files.
-
- o Viewing Graphics Files
- When you install XTreeGold, the installation program senses your
- monitor type and installs video drivers. XTreeGold senses the
- appropriate video driver at execution, so you do not need to
- reinstall video drivers if you change your hardware
- configuration.
-
- The complexity of the files that you can view depends on your
- monitor type. For example, you cannot view a 256 color file
- with a Hercules, CGA or EGA monitor. Use the following chart to
- determine the type of file you can view on your system:
-
- File Monitor Required
- -----------------------------------------------
- 256 color VGA
- 16 color VGA, EGA
- 4 color VGA, EGA, CGA
- 2 color VGA, EGA, CGA, Hercules
-
- Use the AutoView (F7) command to determine the number
- of colors in a graphics file.
-
- o DOS 6.0
- XTreeGold 3.0 is fully compatible with DOS 6.0 and it's
- DoubleSpace Disk compression. With DOS 6.0, you should be able
- to log more files than with previous DOS versions because of the
- increase in available memory. And, if you use the disk cache
- SMARTDRV, XTree's disk logging speed will be much faster.
-
- o Windows 3.0 and 3.1
- XTreeGold is fully compatible with Windows 3.0 and 3.1. An
- icon file (XTGOLD.ICO) and two PIF files (XTGOLD.PIF and
- XTGOLDF.PIF) are supplied to allow you to install XTreeGold
- 3.0 within the Windows environment.
-
- o Extracting from ZIP files
- Pressing C and Alt-C are equivalent to E and Alt-E for invoking
- the Extract commands.
-
- o Compare Branch
- From the tree display, Alt-C invokes the new "Compare branch"
- function. A "branch relative compare" of files that match the
- filespec in the current branch (in the tree) and a user specified
- destination branch (does not have to be logged) is performed, and
- files that are either unique or newer than files in the destination
- branch are tagged. If the function is followed with "Ctrl-Branch"
- and "Alt-Copy" commands, you can backup (copy) the modified files
- (be sure to specify "Relative paths").
-
- o Printer Redirection within XTreeGold
- With version 3.0, you can now redirect printer output within the
- program. Some valid entries for printer device are:
-
- [d:]PRN, [d:]LPT#, [d:]COM#, CON, and TEMPFILE
-
- where [d:] can re-direct printing to another machine (or server)
- and TEMPFILE is an option to "print to file" (the file will
- appear in the active XTreeGold directory).
-
- o The AutoCAD viewer is now named XTG_GDWG.EXE and can be invoked
- from the DOS command line like this...
-
- C:\XTGOLD\XTG_GDWG acadfile C:\XTGOLD
-
- where the third parameter is the XTreeGold Directory.
-
- An Alt-Open associate batch file (and an alt-batch command or
- XTreeMenu script) can look like this:
-
- C:\XTGOLD\XTG_GDWG %1 C:\XTGOLD
-
- o Special values for lines per page when printing files...
-
- Lines
- Per Page Action
- -------- ------
- 0 Dumps file w/o interpretation to PRN. Same as the
- DOS command "COPY FILENAME PRN"
-
- < 5 Tabs are expanded (if configured). Files are
- printed without form feeds. Two blank lines are
- printed after the end of each file. Each file
- begins with a page header (if headers are on).
-
- >=5 Tabs are expanded (if configured). A form feed is
- printed to eject each page. Each page begins with
- a page header (if headers are on).
-
- 65535 Same as ( < 5 ) except one form feed is printed
- to eject the last page of the file.
-
- NOTE: Lines per page should be one less than the maximum page
- size for laser printers that automatically form feed when
- the last line on a page is printed.
-
- o Command Line Switches
-
- /1 One column file display
- /2 Two column file display
- /43+ 43/50 line mode on, 25 default
- /43- 43/50 line mode off
- /A Tree cursor anchored
- /C Space for file separator, . is default
- /DC Composite CRT
- /DN No crt snow, default=retrace wait
- /DS Snow on crt

- /L1 Log 1st level only
- /LF Log method set to "full disk".
- /LQ Quick log, default
- /LS Standard log
- /LT Log tree only
- /Lch Log "full disk": ignore directories that start with 'ch'
- /P# Print lines-per-page, 0..255
- /PS Print to STDOUT

- /XT XTreePro compatible keyboard layout
- /XU Undo the /XT switch
- /Y Disable restoration of the crt blinking attribute
- /Z Restore factory default settings
- /Z. Tells XTreeGold to pass file names without extensions to the
- user's editor with a period after the name. ie: "FILENAME."
- /ZB Skips displaying the box characters for the main screen.
- Only looks correct if you have different highlight/lowlight
- background colors configured.
- /ZF Activates the last Filespec in the history instead of
- coming up with "*.*". This overrides all other command line
- file specs.
- /ZL LogSpec command line switch enables "LogSpec" feature.
- Whenever a log command is executed, files that DO NOT match
- the filespec are NOT LOGGED when the feature is enabled via
- the command line switch. This lets you do things like...
-
- XTGOLD n: s: p: *.doc *.txt readme.* /LF /ZL
-
- to log every doc, text, and readme file in every directory on
- drives N, S and P.
- /ZP Progress bar time display. This command line switch enables
- time displays on the progress bar. When activated, two times
- are displayed. The first is the time in Minutes:Seconds that
- the function has taken so far. The second time is an estimate
- of time remaining based on the percentage complete and the
- accumulated time. This second time is only displayed after
- 10 seconds have gone by, or the operation is 50% complete,
- whichever comes first.
- /ZT Logs the last Treespec in the history. This overrides all
- other command line logging options.
-
- o XTreeGold 3.0 file list and description
-
- Note: the '->' symbol denotes files that are required for
- minimal XTreeGold 3.0 use. All other files add
- additional functionality but can be removed.
