Tree

The Tree command from the very old DOS days is missing in win64. Does anyone
know of a replacement? Text output is desired.

[C:/dii/bench/dii]% which tree
C:/windows/system32/tree.com

C:\dii\bench>tree

But missing in xp64. I grabbed a copy from win2003/32 and it works OK here.

I thought it was a 16-bit application, since it was missing.

The critical thing missing from windows x64 is edit.com. That
has been unforgivable in my opinion.

That codes is so old that it would take a complete re-write just to get it
up to 32-bit. I'm not surprised that it hasn't been ported. Though I
understand your desire for a good character mode text editor. My solution
has been Vim -- it fully supports 64-bit.

This is one of many things that didn't make it into XP x64. Tree is,
however, available in Win7 64-bit. As both a 32-bit and 64-bit command.

TreeSize Free is a good little piece of freeware. Besides displaying the
tree, it has the advantage of showing hidden directories, that can be
manipulated.

Thanks for the suggestion but I just dont like vi very much and I
was a unix programmer for many years. I still use vi to maintain
our website and marvel at it's compactness.

Vim (and its GUI brother, gVim) is a lot more powerful and friendly that
pure vi, though you can use it just as if it were vi. There are also ports
of emacs floating around you could use. But expecting a 16 bit program to
work is something we've already discussed several times. Run it in XPMode,
or find a new one.
