There are many ways you can put XTREE to work. All disk

XTREE is limited in the number of files and directories it
can handle. If you have more than 2800 files or 180
directories, XTREE displays an error message. If you 'see this

files on diskettes, or reorganize and delete some directories.

than it can handle, you may accidentally erase or alter files.
XTREE offers too many commands to
various combinations in this introduction; just remember that
everything you can do is shown on the screen display. See your
MS-DOS Reference Manual for a complete description of
XTREE.
