Xtree has been replaced.

At $30 it is clearly a "must have" (I have both Windows and OS/2 versions and use them incessently in-house and for field support). It is available from [link\|http://www.bmtmicro.com/\|BMT Micro]. Spinrite is, of course, a basic essential without which one cannot claim to be a competent technician (except version 2.0, which did not work (but cost as much as the versions that do work)).

Heh - I think I skipped V2 of SpinRite - was that the one which took forever (as if it were counting Avogadro's number to make up 1 mol of domains?) I think he replaced it with 3.0 for free? Thanks for ZTree link, bookmarked. I've been using list.com (just today - getting the &#^@# ancient .dlls from Iomega replaced with later.) So far, looks as if the ZIP works still, with the later ones needed by Adaptec/Roxio and DVD aps. But list's alien - my brain wants the Tree back. Will have to read a bit further - it's a 32-bit ap but some of the connections to .zip and other compressors - appear to use .bat files (!!) and even some graphics viewers from XTG-3.0 Ummm.. Anyway for $30 - Looks as if, when booted to DOS mode, I'd still need list.com -?- for messing with the \\sys items which are locked by share normally, with win.com running. Damn - pity that some X-Tree can't be kludged to work with long filenames and really run in DOS of the Windoze kind. Guy says he wrote it in C, compiled via M$ C++ (w/o seeing X-Tree source!). A true fanatic. Cheers, A.

If it found anything, it would stall right there, forever as far as I could tell. When I complained they said they had an update to 2 that fixed the problem, but they wanted almost as much for the update as for the full program, so I declined and went back to Spinrite 1 for a couple of years.
