commands in clear onscreen menus, furthermore a number of special operations not provided in
DOS itself, along with a hierarchical visualization of the file and directory structure of a disk volume.
Supplied commands are: Attribute, Available, Copy, Delete, Filespec, Log, Makedir, Rename, Showall, Tag, Untag, View, Volume, and eXecute. Many of them can also be performed on a group of selected ("tagged") files. |

Note: There is also a XTreeGold for DOS version in circulation, which pretends to be a "4.0"
release; although, as a matter of fact, this is rather the work of someone, who has hacked all the
version numbers from 3.0 up to 4.0 ! Aside from this edited "version numbers" those
files are prefectly identical with the XTreeGold 3.0 release (and not even the latest 3.01 revision!).
