Hi,

Years ago when I had my trusted 386 computer running MS DOS 6.22 My computer
logged into Xtree gold. It was the absolute greatest program of all. Is
there an equivalent freeware application that runs on a Windows Xp
computer???

Thanks
Paul.

I would help if you described what it is and what it does.

A cracking DOS shell, without all the graphics, to let you navigate around,
execute progs, and manage your files.

But I would have thought any Widows Explorer equivalent does the same job,
unless Paul wants to work in DOS.

Googling gives bags of info, but doesn't seem to offer much hope; it looks
like (guess who) Symantec has been there :-(

Oh yes. XTreePro (DOS) - 178K, and room for a now unbelievable number of
recovery progs (Including Norton's Utilities - Yes, all of them) on a
1.44MB floppy

Sigh

Ztree is 100% brilliant - I use it all day/every day.
It's like old DOS Xtree Gold on steroids with 32bit & LFN support.
I can't live without it.

BUT it does cost $29. www.ztree.com

The original XTREE GOLD for DOS was IMHO the best file manager ever
written. EXTREME is a
native Windows file manager that attempts to emulate the speed and
elegance of XTREE with new
features such as long file names and protected memory support.

PowerDesk: It's free, amazingly powerful, and it'll make you ignore
Windows Explorer forever. This utility offers slick features including:
dual panes that provide an easy way to copy files between folders,
built-in Zip and UnZip, and one-step functions for copying or moving
files. PowerDesk also emulates Norton Commander or Xtree Pro for
Windows. (For old DOS hounds like me, this is bliss.)

Interesting. I haven't heard of this one, it looks like Ztree.
Is it free? Is it still under active development? Since I paid for
Ztree I'll stick with it but others may be interested in a free one.

But it is very limited compared with ZTree. It's well worth paying the
fee for that. (Hope I won't get shot for saying that in a freeware
group.)
 
ZtreeWin is everything Xtree ever was, and much more! Get it and pay the
reg fee... you'll never regret it!

ZTree Win is almost everything XTree ever was. What's missing is native
file viewers, particular for WordStar, for which I still keep XTree.
But, other than that, ZTree is essential - get it.
