    DIRECTORY TREE is a disk utility that displays disk space usage for the 
 directories and subdirectories in a tree-like format.  The program reads the
 disk and lists, for each subdirectory, the actual disk space used or the
 percentage of the total available disk space used.

    DIRECTORY TREE starts with the current subdirectory and works down through 
 each lower level subdirectory, as with the DOS command "directory."  The 
 initial display will show the total actual byte size of files found along with 
 the total bytes of disk space used by those files.

    When the tree is displayed, scroll through the display with the <UP> and
 <DOWN> arrow keys.  There are several options available, selected through
 function keys.

 ^1OPTIONS^0

 Press <F1> to display the help screen.

 Press <F2> to change the display from "absolute disk space" to a "percentage
            of total space" display, and vice-versa.

 Press <F3> to change the beginning subdirectory for the tree display.
            
            For example:  ^1Enter Drive\Path to read:^0
                          c:\d1          -would give tree beginning at
                                          directory d1 on the c: drive.
            
            See also EXTENDED FEATURES below.

 Press <F4> to print the DIRECTORY TREE to a file.
            
            For example:  ^1Enter Path\Filename to save:^0
                          c:\d1\myfile.txt     -would put output into a file
                                                named myfile.txt in
                                                directory d1 on the c: drive.

 Press <F5> to print the DIRECTORY TREE to the printer.
           
            Before printing, you must answer a question about your printer.
            ^1Does your printer support these characters . . . ? (Y/N)^0

            Answer with <Y> for Yes or <N> for No.  If you are not sure,
            answer <Y> then check to see if printed output is correct.


 ^1EXTENDED FEATURES^0

    DIRECTORY TREE may be restricted as to the included files.  The Drive\Path
 selection allows for a "filename specification" which results in a report
 composed only of the selected files.

       For example:  Press <F3>.
                  
                     ^1Enter Drive\Path to read:^0
                     c:\d1\myfile.txt    -would produce display of ONLY
                                          the d1 subdirectory, with ONLY
                                          the disk usage for myfile.txt.
    
                     ^1Enter Drive\Path to read:^0
                     c:\d1\*.txt         -would produce display 
                                          beginning with d1 directory
                                          including totals only for
                                          files with the "txt" 
                                          extension.
 
 The same option is available directly from the command line:

       For example: At the DOS command line prompt, type:

                    ^1dirtree c:\d1\myfile.txt^0    -would produce display of ONLY
                                                 the d1 subdirectory, with ONLY
                                                 the disk usage for myfile.txt.

                    ^1dirtree c:\^0                 -would produce display of all
                                                 the subdirectories on the c: 
                                                 drive beginning at ROOT. 
                                                                           
 DIRECTORY TREE output may be redirected in this manner:

       At the DOS command line prompt, type:

                    ^1dirtree /s >?????^0           -where ????? is a file name 
                                                 or printer designation.
