ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Tree ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This package adds 2 actions which can be added to the EPM 6 Toolbar. The
actions are:
tree_action
performs a Tree command
tree_dir_action
performs a Tree_dir command
For both actions, you will be prompted for a command argument, unless an
argument is given in the Parameters field of the Actions page of the Toolbar
settings dialog.
In addition, the Tree command can be entered from the editor command line. If
TREE.EX is not linked, it will be linked, the Tree command will be executed,
and TREE.EX will be unlinked. In this case, the Tree_dir command will not be
available.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Tree command ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This command performs a tree-search, starting at a specified directory, for
files matching a specified mask or masks. The output is displayed in a format
containing more information than a DIR listing, and in a format suitable for
sorting.
The syntax for this command is as follows:
TREE [drives][path][masks]
drives One or more drive letters, followed by a colon. If more than one
drive is specified, each drive will be searched in the order listed.
E.g., a:, cde:. The default is the current drive.
path directory sub-tree to search. E.g., \tcpip\etc, ..\os2. The default
is the current directory.
masks one or more search strings, separated by a comma. E.g., *.c,*win*.h.
The default is *.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Tree_dir command ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This command performs a directory search for files matching a specified mask.
The output is displayed in a format containing more information than a DIR
listing, and in a format suitable for sorting.
Tree_dir accepts a single file-specifier, optionally including wildcards.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Alt+1 key ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
As in a Dir listing, the Alt+1 key can be pressed while the cursor is on an
entry in the Tree or Tree_dir output listing. If the cursor is on a file, that
file will be loaded. If the cursor is on a directory, then if the Tree_dir
command is available, a Tree_dir will be issued for that directory; if not, a
Dir will be issued.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Pop-up menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
When in a Tree or Tree_dir output listing, the default pop-up menu is changed
to one that lets you load the current file, or sort the listing according to
any of the fields. (The default way to get a pop-up menu is by pressing mouse
button 2, although this can be configured using the OS/2 System Setup.)
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Output format ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The output from the Tree and Tree_dir commands contains columns for:
Date The date the file was last updated, in the format yyyy-mm-dd.
Time The time the file was last updated, in the format hh:mm:ss.
FileSize The size of the file, in bytes.
EA-size The number of bytes of extended attributes that the file has.
Attr. The file's attributes:
A Archive
D Directory
S System
H Hidden
R Read-only
Full name... (% = %d%p%f ; %f = %n.%e) The fully-qualified file name. The text
in parentheses is a reminder of the parameters for the TreeIt
command.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. TreeIt command ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This command executes any command against the files listed in a Tree or
Tree_Dir listing. The syntax for this command is as follows:
TREEIT [ /D ] command
/D specifies that the command is to be applied to all files listed, including
directories. The default is that directories will be skipped.
If a range of lines is marked in the Tree or Tree-Dir file, the command will be
applied to those lines only, otherwise it will be applied to the entire file.
The command can be any command which can be entered on the EPM command-line
(EPM internal, external, or OS/2). This means that you can use EPM's MC
command to execute multiple commands against each file. Substitution is
performed against strings starting with '%', as follows. (Assume the file is
d:\path\name.ext.)
% The full file specifier, d:\path\name.ext
%f The filename, name.ext
%p The path portion of the file specifier, \path\
%d The drive, d:
%n The name portion of the filename, name
%e The extension portion of the filename, ext
%x The full file specifier, d:\path\name.ext
%% Used to specify a single '%' character in the resulting command.
If no '%' appears in the command, the default is to append the full file
specifier to the end of the command.
Examples:
treeit e
Will edit each file, loading them into
the current edit window
treeit copy % a:\
Will copy each file to the A drive
treeit mc ,mkdir %d%pbackup, copy % %d%pbackup
Will copy each file to a backup directory
below the current file's directory.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. "Enter arguments" dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This dialog prompts you to enter the arguments for a Tree or Tree_dir command
(as indicated in the dialog's title bar). Enter the desired arguments, and
select OK to invoke the command, or select Cancel to cancel the dialog without
executing the command.
