XTC is a UNIX-based clone of the popular XTree Gold file manager for DOS. It is currently in development and contains only file and directory manipulation features. Eventually, many if not all of the features of the original will be included, including:

  • File viewer
  • Text editor
  • Hex editor
  • Archive manipulation
  • Command-line window
  • On-line help


The latest version of of XTC is version 0.1.9. This is a development version and is incomplete but functional. Check out the }README and }ChangeLog for details.
 
The program is released under the }GNU General Public License, so you are free to distribute it and modify it under the terms of this license. A development mailing list is available - see |development section for details.

Development

Mailing list


There once has been an "XTC development mailing list", regrettably it's gone in the meantime. It has been alive for about four months between April and August 1999. However, you can review all the postings right here in the }XTC development mailing list archive.

Misc. development info

]C. R. Bryan III is working on a }specification file which describes the operation of XTree Gold. This will help in making sure that the program works and feels just like the original.

UTREE 3.04a-um - A screen oriented filesystem browser
@(#) README, klin, Wed Oct 21 15:56:31 1992

 
 
Utree is a screen oriented filesystem utility for navigation thru fileystems and doing some default and user defined commands on directories and files.
 
For usage and documentation see the |manual pages utree and utree.prlist.
 
For copyright notice, warranty and distribution conditions see }COPYRIGHT.
 

Utree is first implemented and tested on a PCS CADMUS 9230 (Motorola MC68010) running MUNIX V.2/07 (System V.2) and then ported to, compiled and tested on some others machines running UNIX System V.3, BSD4.2 and BSD4.3 or look alikes. The release utree 3.03-um is developed on a MIPS RC3230 running RISC/os 4.51.

UTREE 3.04-um - A screen oriented filesystem browser
@(#) TODO, klin, Sat May 23 17:16:52 1992

 
->     The system configuration file conf.h and the Makefiles could be configured automatically!
->     Extend file patterns, i.e. file mode and type ...
->     More sophisticated menu handling
->     Better and portabler use of colors on color terminals
->     More sophisticated key bindings (binding to function-names instead of key-symbols)
->     More sophisticated builtin pager
->     Port to X11/Motif (???)
->     Instead of really removing files use save-remove with possibility to restore so save-removed files, i.e. "mv filename .#filename" (instead of "rm filename") "rm .#filename" before exiting utree
