Thank you for purchasing XTreeGold 3.0, the most powerful file and disk manager available! These notes provide additions and late information for the User's Guide. Some of the New Features introduced with XTreeGold 3.0... * Progress Bars - Progress bars are now displayed during file and disk operations. * ZIP 2.0 Support - Create Zip files that span multiple diskettes. This lets you Zip files that are larger than the size of a diskette. * Zedit Text Editor - New mouse supported Zedit text editor allows you to edit multiple files, split and arrange edit windows, edit larger files than 1WORD, record and play keyboard macros and more. To run Zedit text editor instead of 1WORD, use the configuration program (XTG_CFG.EXE) or use the ALT F10 configure command to change the default editor path of Z.EXE, typically installed in C:\XTGOLD. Refer to the ZEDIT.TXT file for information on how to use Zedit. * New File Compare - With JFC you can compare the contents of two text files side by side in split windows. You can quickly jump into ZEDIT from JFC with a keystroke, and find yourself at the exact point that you were comparing. * Quick Format - New format option allows you quickly erase all data on formatted diskette. * Format 2.88 disks - The format command now supports formatting 2.88 mb diskettes. You must have a 2.88mb Disk drive to select the new "Extra" density option. * Compare Branch - This new command tags all the files in one branch that are unique and newer than the files in another branch. * Paradox 4 Viewer - Now supports viewing Paradox 4.0 files. * WordPerfect 6.0 - Now supports viewing WordPerfect 6.0 files. * Tag/Untag Branch - Now you can tag, untag, and invert files in a branch in one step by using the CTRL+F7, +F8, or +F9 commands from the Directory Window. * New Print Options - You can now redirect the printer output to any valid device or to a file named TEMPFILE in the XTGOLD directory using the new print options. * Date Filespec - Now you can enter a date in the filespec command to filter your list of files. For example: Press F for filespec and type either >8-09-93 <8-09-93 =8-09-93 to see files greater than, less than and equal to 8-09-93 respectively. * LogSpec option - New command line switch allows you to conserve memory when logging large drives such as CDs. XTree will only log specified files. o XTreeGold 3.0 is distributed on three 3.5" low density diskettes. o Upgrading from XTreeGold 2.5 If you are upgrading from XTreeGold 2.5, you should copy and replace the following files from your XTreeGold 2.5 to your new XTreeGold 3.0 directory: XTGOLD.CFG Configuration settings XTG_MENU.DAT Menu data file XTGOLD.HST History file If you have already installed over your version of XTreeGold 2.5, your XTGOLD.CFG file has been saved as XTGOLD.SAV and your XTG_MENU.DAT file has been saved as XTG_MENU.SAV. Verify that these files exist, then copy or rename the files to their appropriate name. XTreeGold modifies these files while running and saves these files when you exit XTreeGold. Therefore, if you are copying or renaming the above files in order to restore previous settings, you should do so from the DOS command line using the DOS COPY and/or RENAME commands - do not use XTreeGold to copy the files. o Viewing Graphics Files When you install XTreeGold, the installation program senses your monitor type and installs video drivers. XTreeGold senses the appropriate video driver at execution, so you do not need to reinstall video drivers if you change your hardware configuration. The complexity of the files that you can view depends on your monitor type. For example, you cannot view a 256 color file with a Hercules, CGA or EGA monitor. Use the following chart to determine the type of file you can view on your system: File Monitor Required ----------------------------------------------- 256 color VGA 16 color VGA, EGA 4 color VGA, EGA, CGA 2 color VGA, EGA, CGA, Hercules Use the AutoView (F7) command to determine the number of colors in a graphics file. o DOS 6.0 XTreeGold 3.0 is fully compatible with DOS 6.0 and it's DoubleSpace Disk compression. With DOS 6.0, you should be able to log more files than with previous DOS versions because of the increase in available memory. And, if you use the disk cache SMARTDRV, XTree's disk logging speed will be much faster. o Windows 3.0 and 3.1 XTreeGold is fully compatible with Windows 3.0 and 3.1. An icon file (XTGOLD.ICO) and two PIF files (XTGOLD.PIF and XTGOLDF.PIF) are supplied to allow you to install XTreeGold 3.0 within the Windows environment. o Extracting from ZIP files Pressing C and Alt-C are equivalent to E and Alt-E for invoking the Extract commands. o Compare Branch From the tree display, Alt-C invokes the new "Compare branch" function. A "branch relative compare" of files that match the filespec in the current branch (in the tree) and a user specified destination branch (does not have to be logged) is performed, and files that are either unique or newer than files in the destination branch are tagged. If the function is followed with "Ctrl-Branch" and "Alt-Copy" commands, you can backup (copy) the modified files (be sure to specify "Relative paths"). o Printer Redirection within XTreeGold With version 3.0, you can now redirect printer output within the program. Some valid entries for printer device are: [d:]PRN, [d:]LPT#, [d:]COM#, CON, and TEMPFILE where [d:] can re-direct printing to another machine (or server) and TEMPFILE is an option to "print to file" (the file will appear in the active XTreeGold directory). o The AutoCAD viewer is now named XTG_GDWG.EXE and can be invoked from the DOS command line like this... C:\XTGOLD\XTG_GDWG acadfile C:\XTGOLD where the third parameter is the XTreeGold Directory. An Alt-Open associate batch file (and an alt-batch command or XTreeMenu script) can look like this: C:\XTGOLD\XTG_GDWG %1 C:\XTGOLD o Special values for lines per page when printing files... Lines Per Page Action -------- ------ 0 Dumps file w/o interpretation to PRN. Same as the DOS command "COPY FILENAME PRN" < 5 Tabs are expanded (if configured). Files are printed without form feeds. Two blank lines are printed after the end of each file. Each file begins with a page header (if headers are on). >=5 Tabs are expanded (if configured). A form feed is printed to eject each page. Each page begins with a page header (if headers are on). 65535 Same as ( < 5 ) except one form feed is printed to eject the last page of the file. NOTE: Lines per page should be one less than the maximum page size for laser printers that automatically form feed when the last line on a page is printed. o Command Line Switches /1 One column file display /2 Two column file display /43+ 43/50 line mode on, 25 default /43- 43/50 line mode off /A Tree cursor anchored /C Space for file separator, . is default /DC Composite CRT /DN No crt snow, default=retrace wait /DS Snow on crt /E Ignore missing overlay error messages /L1 Log 1st level only /LF Log method set to "full disk". /LQ Quick log, default /LS Standard log /LT Log tree only /Lch Log "full disk": ignore directories that start with 'ch' /P# Print lines-per-page, 0..255 /PS Print to STDOUT /Q Quiet on, no beeps /R Home to root directory, applies to the first logged drive /OD Sort descending /SD Sort by date /SE Sort by extension /SS Sort by size /SU Unsorted display /T Scroll "bar and thumbs" are "arrows and lines" /U User data file directory /Vpath Load static logged volume vm file /W Skip small file window when Enter is pressed /WB Skip small file window when Enter is pressed /WS Goto small file window when Enter is pressed /XA Application menu is first /XB DOS cursor is a block /XC Skip Alt-Copy sort by path /XE Skip editor dialog from the file display /XK Shell first switch /XL Lower case tree, file displays /XM Display memory usage /XP Default sort by path /XQ Don't prompt for quit /XS Display real root of subst drives, a must if you use SUBST /XT XTreePro compatible keyboard layout /XU Undo the /XT switch /Y Disable restoration of the crt blinking attribute /Z Restore factory default settings /Z. Tells XTreeGold to pass file names without extensions to the user's editor with a period after the name. ie: "FILENAME." /ZB Skips displaying the box characters for the main screen. Only looks correct if you have different highlight/lowlight background colors configured. /ZF Activates the last Filespec in the history instead of coming up with "*.*". This overrides all other command line file specs. /ZL LogSpec command line switch enables "LogSpec" feature. Whenever a log command is executed, files that DO NOT match the filespec are NOT LOGGED when the feature is enabled via the command line switch. This lets you do things like... XTGOLD n: s: p: *.doc *.txt readme.* /LF /ZL to log every doc, text, and readme file in every directory on drives N, S and P. /ZP Progress bar time display. This command line switch enables time displays on the progress bar. When activated, two times are displayed. The first is the time in Minutes:Seconds that the function has taken so far. The second time is an estimate of time remaining based on the percentage complete and the accumulated time. This second time is only displayed after 10 seconds have gone by, or the operation is 50% complete, whichever comes first. /ZT Logs the last Treespec in the history. This overrides all other command line logging options. o XTreeGold 3.0 file list and description Note: the '->' symbol denotes files that are required for minimal XTreeGold 3.0 use. All other files add additional functionality but can be removed.
