#Xtree
Die Version daheim, die etwas weiter ist, hat sogar einen kompletten XTree Gold-Clone drin. Fand ich immer besser wie den Norton Commander ;).

Dale Sinor of Executive Systems, Inc. (ESI) appeared on a October 1986 “Computer Chronicles” to demonstrate “XTree,” a file manager created by ESI’s Jeffrey Johnson. Central Point Software acquired ESI in 1993. Symantec acquired Central Point in 1994.

XTree versus Norton Commander: two great answers to DOS file-management. Difficult to chose between them...
XTree was probably the more sophisticated file-management tool. Norton Commander was probably the more elegant interactive file-navigation tool.

The earliest Microsoft shell interface: DOS Manager.

Many first-time dos users experimented with it before moving on to Norton or XTree, and it was rather clunky compared to them, although it did the job overall.

After 10 & 1/2 months effort, YtreeNova has reached beta: a keyboard-first file manager for Linux and BSD, inspired by XTreeGold. It helps you comprehend your filesystem at a glance and perform file ops intuitively.

Back in the day, you were either in the camp of Xtree Gold or a Norton Commander camp. Which camp do you fall into?

Копираш си файлове в тези табове, а то пълни имената (full path) им в един текстов файл. Получава се като multiselection в XTree Gold, селектираш любими файлове от всички папки, и извършваш някакво действие с всички наведнъж. Или просто си записваш текстовия файл да правиш други неща.

I'll never forget the first time I installed Microsoft Windows. It was version 1.0. I installed on an XT clone and ate most of my 10 megabyte hard drive. I was not particularly impressed by its' speed. I removed it and went back to Xtree gold.

The words "XTree Gold" just got invoked from memory!

PC Tools was one of the big DOS utility suites competing with Norton Utilities, while also offering file-management features that overlapped with XTree. By the early 1990s it had grown into a huge toolbox: disk repair, undelete, backup, antivirus, compression and more. Did you use it too?

Zip in XTree Gold was good enough for me.

I used Xtree and Norton Commander, I still use Midnight Commander daily on Linux and there is a xtree clone in the repo still maintained www.han.de/~werner/ytre...

Random question: ever use XTree Gold in MS-DOS? It was a favorite in our household.

Xtree is the grand daddy of the TUI filemanagers. Next came Norton commander with its split screen setup.
