I thought that Xtree Gold 3.01 was the last official version ?!
For Norton, the last DOS version was 8.0 (at least here in Germany).

IMHO, there is one big problem with all those utilities: 
All the good utility packages, i.e. Xtree, Norton Utilities, Central
Point's PCTools are now published by Symantec.
But they took away all the good elements. Now they only sell parts of
them in one package which is only a faint glance of what those
utilities were able to do.
(Luckily, Norton's DISKEDIT is still available for W95)

P.S.: There is a shareware program named Ztree which is an Xtree clone
for Windows 95 (should be found at Simtel and its mirrors)
