Tree replacement?

I like using MS-DOS's Tree command for making plain-text graphical
representations of drives' or folders' contents. However, it truncates
extra long filenames. Is there a utility for Windows or DOS that will do
what Tree does?

Well, upon some testing, Tree isn't as bad at clipping as I thought.
Still, it'd be nice to find a Windows utility that will make a graphical-
text Tree from within Explorer. Any suggestions?
 
Windows 2000/XP has a tree Command that works with its CMD.EXE

Thanks. Yeah, that's the one I've been using. I was just hoping that
there'd be a Windows program that does the same thing, or at least a
similar DOS program with long-filename support.

Having experimented some with WinXP's TREE command, I've found that it
does indeed truncate too much. Also, accented characters typed in
Windows aren't translated (likely since TREE is DOS-centered). Here's an
example of some output:

+---Ayumi Hamasaki - ayu-ro Mix 3
| Ayumi Hamasaki - ayu-ro Mix 3 - 01 - Independent (Europop Ex.mp3
| Ayumi Hamasaki - ayu-ro Mix 3 - 02 - WE WISH (Starlight Mix).mp3
| Ayumi Hamasaki - ayu-ro Mix 3 - 03 - Dearest (Sentimental Eu.mp3
| Ayumi Hamasaki - ayu-ro Mix 3 - 04 - July 1st (A Eurobeat Mi.mp3
| Ayumi Hamasaki - ayu-ro Mix 3 - 05 - Heartplace (Dreamland E.mp3
| Ayumi Hamasaki - ayu-ro Mix 3 - 06 - Naturally (Human Mix).mp3
| Ayumi Hamasaki - ayu-ro Mix 3 - 07 - HANABI (A Eurosenti Mix.mp3
| Ayumi Hamasaki - ayu-ro Mix 3 - 08 - Daybreak (Eurospeedy Mi.mp3
| Ayumi Hamasaki - ayu-ro Mix 3 - 09 - Real Me (A Eurobeat Mix.mp3
| Ayumi Hamasaki - ayu-ro Mix 3 - 10 - Everywhere Nowhere (Tim.mp3
| Ayumi Hamasaki - ayu-ro Mix 3 - 11 - Free & Easy (Energy Ext.mp3
| Ayumi Hamasaki - ayu-ro Mix 3 - 12 - Voyage (Sweet Mix).mp3
| Ayumi Hamasaki - ayu-ro Mix 3 - 13 - ayu-ro SUPER MEGA-MIX.mp3
| Ayumi Hamasaki - ayu-ro Mix 3.jpg

Obviously, this sucks. ARE there any Windows alternatives that can
provide plain-text graphical trees like this? Thanks.

In DOS sessions under Win98SE, I use TREE.EXE, a 32-bit public-
domain FreeDOS program. It displays in exactly the same output format as
MS-DOS TREE.COM, except that long file and directory names are correctly
shown, and the actual case of the letters is displayed (not translated to
all caps as by MS-DOS TREE). I didn't keep track of where I downloaded
it, and a quick Google search didn't relocate its source, but it's only 78
Kb in size, and I will e-mail a copy on request.

Thanks for the link. It seems, though, that this make of TREE doesn't
support long filenames. The .c file enclosed says: "This command is
virtually identical to the MS-DOS TREE command, except that it expands the
current directory path instead of showing '.' in the display." It does
indeed, but no long filenames. But thanks again.

I'd appreciate that. You can send it to j44xm[@]seventy8[.]n_t. (Fill in
the "e.") Thanks much.
