!! BRILLIANT !!

I have been a long term fan of XTREE since version 1.0 first came out
(way back in the dim and distant past), tried the windows (version 4.0)
and hated it so stuck at DOS version 3.01. Windows Explorer is Ok if
you're happy with pretty pictures and no info. on what you're doing,
after Xtree it's like working with your eyes closed and one hand tied
behind your back !! If you've ever used Xtree you'll know what I mean !
It was a sad day when Symantec effectively killed it off.

Ztree is available from the demon ftp archive at :

        ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/simtelnet/win95/fileutl/ztw111.zip 

and it's just as Matthias says, an Xtree clone, in all but the finer
details, but is a full Windoze 95 32 bit application and understands
long file names ! The author, Kim Henkel, states '...given time and
incentive I intend to provide all the missing functions...'. Having
downloaded and tried Ztree for a couple of hours this evening I'm hooked
and certainly intend to give him my support !

If you've ever bemoaned the demise of Xtree give Ztree a try and give
Kim the incentive to revive it back to the product it used to be !
