Jeffrey C Johnson: >www.xtree.com

- this is the homepage of the man who has bred XTree, the software engineer who wrote the first XTree versions ever, as well as playing the main part of coding any of the XTree for DOS versions around.
 
Finally, since November 2000, Jeffrey C. Johnson has received the domain name, he deserves: xtree.com !
 
(Also, refer to the respective XTFP Peoples entry).
 
 
 

Symantec technical "support", among others on XTree: >www.symantec.com/techsupp/

- still *some* information left on XTree, if you manage to click through some dozen times...
Structure and URL of these pages changes so frequently, and is so terribly structured, that I gave up to link to the particular sub-sub-sub-sub-...-pages - you have to find them on your own... :-(

At least, there are provided to some extent interesting issues (although nothing substantial that isn't presented on the XTFP, too).
The section 'Ask a Tech' has been removed some time ago, producing evidence that Symantec has not the least interest to furthermore support XTree in every respect. Anyhow, as long as this service was alive, 9 out of 10 queries have been answered either with "try to uninstall and reinstall", or "sorry, but this product is no longer updated/supported", or, even worse, "sorry, we don't know that by ourselfs" (!) - more comments superfluous...

Even worse, Symantec, under the headline "XTree, Y2K Alert!" recently went so far as to claim that "this product is not Y2K compliant" !! Alone, this is nothing but rubbish, made by people who haven't got the foggiest idea of what they're talking about...
In fact, any XTree version *is* Y2K compliant, just try it and you'll see it works: XTFP FAQ: Is XTree "Y2K" (year 2000) compatible ?
 
 
 

Sutton Library Computer Club: >www.venus.co.uk/comms/slcc

- three utmost readable articles on XTree there to be found in section >articles/software

  entirely filling the More Tips - section)
 
 
 

Schrege Voegel:  >www.jogi.com/schrege-voegel/software/_xtreepr.htm

- featuring the XTreePro 1.1 version
(a German-language site, although recommended for English speaking people as well; see by your own, why...)

Using XTreeNet:  >www.pcedug.vic.edu.au/muchap1.htm

This is just one single page with rather few text, but anyhow, there are some nice XTreeNet screenshots...

[ and fortunately I have been able to ferret out their new address... ;-) ]
 
 
 

The XTree Alternative:  >www.palmtoppaper.com/PTPHTML/47/47c0000c.htm

ZTreeWin Unofficial Homepage:  >www.ztw3.com

ZTreeWin versus Explorer:  >www2.arkansas.net/~millerlr/ztreevsexplorer.htm

- Under the subtitle "Explorer Can't but ZtreeWin Can" (yes, that's quoted verbatim ...) Len Miller lists and describes ZTreeWin commands and functions that the MS Win9x/NT Explorer does not provide (? - at least, that's the way I understood the site's goal ...).
However, this is nevertheless a page worth reading, with lots of details, assembled with endeavour.

Unfortunately, this artilce is no longer accessible for free online, you have to register and pay before reading any further... :-(

iRider - A innovative web browser from a former XTree programmer:  >www.irider.com/irider/index.htm

iRider lets you browse much faster and work with lots of pages and sites at once, and lets you do it much more easily and naturally than with any other browser. Try it out!
