Within the past few days I posted something about the programs
TREED and VTREE, which display the tree of directories and sub-
directories on a drive. I supposed that TREED was a copyrighted
program and VTREE was public domain. I have stirred my stumps
enough to look inside the latter program, and it contains a
1985 copyright by Charles Petzold. From that I conclude it is
a PC Magazine utility.

Further, I said it contained a bug. I still think it's a bug,
but on closer examination it may merely be a feature. I said
it fails to display a directory that TREED displays. Well, that's
true. The "feature" is that VTREE will not display a directory
that has been marked read-only. I could understand not showing
a file or directory marked as hidden, but not one marked read-
only.
