    Introduction
    

    "ZTreeWin" is a text-mode file/directory manager for Windows 95/98/NT.
    It has been developed as a native Win32 alternative to the DOS product,
    XTreeGold (tm), since its makers have ceased any further development.
    While I am sure you are well aware of the virtues of XTreeGold, you
    know the disadvantages of it being a 16-bit DOS program.  ZTreeWin
    was developed to provide the functionality you are accustomed to,
    whilst avoiding all the DOS imposed limitations.

    This program is not "crippled".  There are some functions and mouse
    commands that are not *yet* implemented.  There is NO difference in
    functionality between a shareware and a registered version of this
    program.

    Given time and support, it is intended to provide all missing functions,
    and requests and suggestions from you the user are welcomed.

    License
    

    This program is NOT free.  You are granted a limited license to evaluate
    the product for 31 days from the date of first use.  To continue using
    this version after 31 days, you MUST register.  Each subsequent release
    of this product will allow a full 31 days evaluation from time of
    installation.

    Please read ORDER.FRM for detailed information.

    By registering this product, you are granted unlimited use of this
    and future versions.  Your support helps ensure ongoing development.

    Features
    

    The original purpose of this program was to provide all the core
    functionality of XTreeGold, in a native 32-bit environment.

    There is NO internal editor.  Instead, ZTreeWin be configured to
    load your favorite file editor.  The default editor is EDIT.COM,
    and of course, text-mode applications are more suitable for this
    purpose.  My personal favorites are:
     - TSE Pro/32 from Semware Corporation (http://www.semware.com)
     - Aurora from nText Systems (http://www.ntext.net)

    There are several functions that are yet to be implemented.  Most are,
    I believe, trivial services that you will probably never miss.  Others
    are more important, and will be introduced on a most requested basis.

    The highlighting of commands on the last three lines of the screen
    should make the function support quite obvious.   If there is a
    function missing you particularly miss, let me know.

    Well, that is all the bad news.  Here are some improvements over the
    original.

    ZTreeWin uses around 400K of memory, and will allocate and free
    blocks dynamically as required (no more 'out of memory' messages).

    The default video mode is 25x80.  The Alt-F9 command will toggle the
    other video modes - 34/43/50/60x80.  You may save your current mode
    using F10-Configure, and you may override this and the default from
    the command line.
    * Warning:  Use of the 34 and 43 line modes can lead to problems when
    calling certain external text-mode (specifically DOS) programs. If
    you experience an apparent 'hang' after returning to ZTreeWin from
    a DOS program, it is recommended you try a different video mode.

    Using Win32 APIs, ZTreeWin avoids several of XTreeGolds' limitations:

    - Doesn't hog the CPU while waiting for keyboard activity.
    - Trying to log an in-use device will be dealt with gracefully.
    - The ability to copy and search open files.
    - Directory Grafting works.
    - Support of long filenames.
    - Flexible support of *ANY* archiving program present and future.

    Installation
    

    Please refer to README.1ST for installation information.

    Support
    

    ZTreeWin is backed by unlimited email-based technical support.
    Please send all support issues to support@ztree.com clearly
    stating the problem, your platform information and the ZTreeWin
    version number (use Alt-F1 to display this).

    Options
    

    Here are the command line options: (which override ZTW.INI)

    C:\>ZTW [/2|/3|/4|/5|/6] [/Eeditor] [/Vviewer] [switches] [C D . Z]

    Meaning:[ Video Mode]    [ Editor ] [ Viewer ]            [Drives ]
    Default:[  25 lines ]    [EDIT.COM] [Internal]            [current]

    Switches:

        /XT  XTreePro compatible keyboard layout (+/-)
        /M   Disable mouse support
        /O   Disable OEM text translation
        /Y   Prevent screen restoration on exit
        /L1  Log 1st level only
        /LF  Log method set to "full disk".
        /LT  Log tree only
        /ZF  Activates the last Filespec in the history instead of
             starting with "*.*".

    Multiple drives may be logged at startup, for example:

    C:\>ZTW /5 /XT C D E F

    Startup in 50 line mode, use +/- keys, log drives C, D, E & F.

                             

    PLEASE read ZTW.HLP (F1 from within the program) for program
    instructions, if you are unfamiliar with XtreeGold/ZTreeWin operation.

                             

    Additional Information
    
    Paul's Graphic Viewer (PGV) is a graphics file viewing program
    which integrates very nicely with ZTreeWin.  Sample .BAT files
    have been included to demonstrate how to use PGV for file types
    such as BMP, GIF and JPG.  The current version of PGV is v3.7.
