- Introduction│
- ────────────┘
-
- "ZTreeWin" is a text-mode file/directory manager for Windows 95 and NT.
- 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.

- Features│
- ────────┘
-
- 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.
-
- 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 - 50/43/60x80. 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│
- ────────────┘
-
- - Unzip the contents of ZTW.ZIP to a directory of your choice.
-
- - Copy ARCHIVER.BB2 to the same directory as ZTW.EXE. This file
- should be reviewed to verify it references archive programs you
- have available.
-
- - Copy the sample *.BAT files to the same directory as ZTW.EXE.
- The .BAT file with the name matching the currently highlighted
- file will be executed when you 'O'pen the file. You may of course
- build your own .BAT files for all the file-types you need to
- manipulate with an external program.
-
- - Copy ZTW.HLP to the same directory as ZTW.EXE. This file is
- accessed with the F1 key to provide basic operational help.
-
- - 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.
-
- Here are the command line options: (which override ZTW.INI)
-
- C:\>ZTW [/2|/4|/5|/6] [/Eeditor.EXE] [/Vviewer.EXE] [/XT] [C D . Z]
-
- Meaning:[ Video Mode ] [ Editor name] [ Viewer name] [+/-] [Drives ]
- Default:[ 25 lines ] [ E.EXE ] [ Internal ] [< >] [current]
-
- 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.

- with XtreeGold/ZTreeWin operation.
