San Luis Obispo, CA -- December 17, 1990 -- XTree Company has
released XTreeGold version 2.0, the latest edition of its award-
winning hard disk file management software. With this release,
even the XTreeGold packaging and manuals are news -- because for
the first time, they all have been created from recycled materials.
The Computer Operating Environment
In addition to streamlining XTreeGold's name (from XTreePro
Gold), version 2.0 has been beefed up and fine-tuned to make it
both more sophisticated and easier to use. In other words, version
2.0 accomplishes the impossible by simultaneously shielding
users from awkward DOS commands while giving them instant DOS
power (via pull-down menus and the enhanced XTree Application
Menu). The new XTreeGold interface provides an intuitive, powerful
operating environment.
XTree X-perts will also be pleased with version 2.0's new
power tools (including Undelete, Compare, more Viewers, etc.).
New Features - Operating Environment
The Pull-Down Menus and XTree Application Menu provide a
complete operating environment -- especially for new users.
Pull-Down Menus -- XTreeGold commands are now visible via
easy-to-use keyboard or mouse accessible menus. It's easier
than ever to find the right XTreeGold command. (Users who
prefer the familiar command line, may by-pass this feature
completely -- or simply use it for quick help.)
XTree Applications Menu -- Able to recognize over 700 appli-
cations, XTreeGold can automatically search your hard drive
and build a personal Application Menu for you. The
XTreeMenu (with its unique outlining feature) can be conve-
niently set to pop up whenever you turn on your computer, or
invoke XTreeGold. When the XTreeMenu is used to launch
other applications (such as WordPerfect or Excel)
XTreeMenu's overhead is a scant 7K.
New Features - XTreeGold "X-orcises" the Competition
XTreeGold continues to set the standard for hard disk file
management software with a powerful, unique set of tools not
found in any other single product. In addition to XTreeGold's
commands to prune and graft directories, outline/collapse direc-
tories, delete files/directories, copy/move files, list files
across directories/drives, find text in files, "wipe disks"
(complete erase), change file attributes, and much more --
XTreeGold now adds:
Undelete Files -- An "Oops!" command makes it easy to re-
trieve deleted files with the tap of a key.
Viewers -- Greatly expanded file viewer list, now includes
Excel, Paradox, Quattro, QuattroPro, Lotus 123, dBase, Word-
Perfect, Microsoft Word, and WordStar, Multimate, Profes-
sional Write, PFS, XyWrite, Wang PC, Volkswriter, Total
Word, Q&A Write, and many others.
Zip Manager -- Now adds the industry standard ZIP format.
Create, view and unzip archive files, saving valuable disk
space.
Compare -- Select two directories (even on two separate
drives) for comparison and XTreeGold will instantly tag
files in one directory that are not contained in another.
This exclusive features simplifies the search for and dele-
tion of unneeded, duplicate files.
Partial Logging -- Allows you instant access to XTreeGold
without logging the entire drive. Then, log only those di-
rectories you wish to work with. Those with large disks (or
CD-ROMs) will save time by skipping unnecessary logging.
"Move" Across Drives -- "Move" will automatically perform
both copy and delete with one powerful command.
