- =================
- Version 1.1
-
-
- Every harddisk is too small if you just wait long enough. Treesize tells you
- where your precious Clusters have gone to. From the context menu of a folder
- or drive, TreeSize shows you the size of this folder, recursively including
- the subfolders. You can expand this folder in Explorer-like style and you will
- get the size of the subfolders. It works like the UNIX-command "du" with a
- Win95 graphical user interface. Scanning is done in a thread and the wasted
- space can be displayed, so it is easy to find areas on the disk, where a lot
- of space is wasted. The results can be printed in a report.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Unzip the Archive in a temporary directory, right-click on Treesize.inf and
- select "Install". TreeSize can be completely uninstalled via
- Control Panel/Software.

-
- ANNOTATIONS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- * The wasted space is the amount of space in clusters, which are not completely
- filled (the last cluster of a file or if the file is smaller than one cluster)
- The filesystem of Windows 95 has very big cluster sizes, so the amount of
- wasted space may be very large (up to 25%)
- * To reduce the wasted space on your harddisk, put folders with a lot of
- wasted space in a ZIP-file or on a compressed drive
- * If scanning large drives, it's better to use no sort criteria, because
- otherwise the folders will constantly change their position in the tree
- * All Folders, which are visible in the window, will be printed in the report.
- If you want a complete report, select the top folder and make a "full expand"
- * With a user defined cluster size, you can look what the values for occupied
- and wasted space would look like with an other cluster size on your disk.
- A rescan of the current Folder is necessary when you change the cluster size
- * You can use the CD-ROM clustersize to determine, how much space a directory
- tree would occupy on a CD-ROM. There may be a difference of about 0.25% to
- the real size on a CD-ROM. Use the user defined cluster size for exact values.
- * You will only get sensible values for allocated space, wasted space, free
- space and Bytes per cluster if you select file system folders. Folders like
- "My Computer" or the "Network Neighbourhood" can contain several drives with
- different cluster sizes. These values are not printed in the report if you
- select a non file system folder
- * The 'filter' and 'user defined cluster size' are not saved to the the
- registry in order to avoid wrong values using TreeSize next time
- * Treesize will display german menus if "German" is selected in the control
- panel
- * TreeSize was developed with Borland Delphi 2.0
