Cautions

With a utility as powerful and as fast as XTREE, you must always be

aware of the danger of accidentally erasing important files. Follow

these guidelines to protect your files:

l

You can cancel commands, even commands in progress, by
pressing

F3.

This stops any function.

l

Use

Ctrl A

(the attributes command) to give read-only status to

all the files in the directories. Then, in order to erase a file, you

must first remove its protection. (See your MS-DOS Reference
Manual for details.)

XTREE is limited in the number of files and directories it can
handle. If you have more than 2800 files or 180 directories,
XTREE displays an error message. If you see this error message,

reorganize and delete some directories. If you use XTREE when
you have more files or directories than it can handle, you may
accidentally erase or alter files.
