=================
Version 0.8
Every harddisk is too small if you just wait long enough. Treesize tells you
where your precious Clusters have gone to. If you right-click on a folder or
drive, TreeSize tells you the size of this folder, recursively including the
subfolders. You can expand this folder in Explorer-like style and you will
get the size of your subfolders. It works like the UNIX-command "du" with a
Win95 graphical user interface. Scanning is done in a thread and the wasted
space can be displayed, so it is easy to find areas on the disk, where a lot
of space is wasted. The results can be printed in a report.
INSTALLATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unzip the Archive in a temporary directory, right-click on Treesize.inf and
select "Install". TreeSize can be completely uninstalled via
Control Panel/Software.
ANNOTATIONS
~~~~~~~~~~~
* To reduce the wasted space on your harddisk, put folders with a lot of
wasted space in a ZIP-file or on a compressed drive
* If scanning large drives, it's better to use no sort criteria, because
otherwise the folders will constantly change their position in the tree
* All Folder, which are visible in the window, will be printed in the report.
If you want a complete report, select the top Folder and make a "full expand"
* With a user defined cluster size, you can look what the values for occupied
and wasted space would look like with an other cluster size on your disk.
A rescan of the current Folder is necessary when you change the cluster size
* You can use the CD-ROM clustersize to determine, how much space a directory
tree would occupy on a CD-ROM. There could be a difference of about 0.25% to
the real size on a CD-ROM. Use the user defined cluster size for exact values.
* You will only get sensible values for allocated space, wasted space, free
space and Bytes per cluster if you select file system folders. Folders like
"My Computer or the "Network Neighbourhood" can contain several drives with
different cluster sizes. These values are not printed in the report if you
select a non file system folder
* Treesize has problems with Non File System Folders on Windows NT 4, but this
is not very important for the usage of the program
* Treesize will display german menus if german is selected in the control panel
COPYRIGHT

TreeSize is Mailware, that means you can freely use it and distribute the
complete archive. If you decide to use it, you must send me an e-mail, which
of course could contain bug reports, ideas or criticism.
