Cautions

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

alert to the danger of accidentally erasing important files. To

protect your files, be aware of the following:

You can cancel commands, even commands in progress, by

pressing F3. This stops any function.

You can use the Attributes command

(Ctrl-A)

to give read-only

status to all the files in the directories. Then, in order to erase a
file, you must first remove its read-only status. (See your

MS-DOS manual for details.)
