What ShowTree does
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

ShowTree displays a directory tree in simple character graphics. 

ShowTree is a substitute for the tree command that comes with OS/2.

Enter "showtree -h" to find out how to use ShowTree. You may also want to have a look at the Rexx source code.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

ShowTree is freeware. You pay for nothing, and I don't guarantee anything!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Files in this distribution
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The left side below is an example for the kind of output that ShowTree generates (if you call it with "showtree -a -f"):

showtree\
|--history          - Release history of ShowTree
|--readme           - The file you are reading
|--showtree.cmd     - The ShowTree script
`--pgp\
   |--history.sig   - PGP signature for history
   |--readme.sig    - PGP signature for readme
   `--showtree.sig  - PGP signature for showtree.cmd

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RexxUtil
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

ShowTree requires functions from the RexxUtil DLL. These functions are used by many scripts. So, instead of trying to load these functions again, each time you run a script that needs them, you should consider loading them when you start your system. To do this, put a script (or a link to a script) into your startup folder, that has the following code in it:

/* System Utilities */
rc = rxFuncAdd( 'sysLoadFuncs', 'rexxUtil', 'SysLoadFuncs' )
if rc \= 0 then
  say 'Cannot (re-)register RexxxUtil functions'
else
  do
  call sysLoadFuncs
  say 'RexxUtil.dll functions registered'
  end

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miscellaneous
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enter "showtree -h" to get my email address.

To get my PGP public key, send me an empty email with "send pgp key" in the subject line.

I have a slightly different Perl 5 version of ShowTree that I use under Unix. If you are interested, send me an email.
