Introduction
PVTree is an utility to see the full (or part) directory tree of any
disks devices like HardDisk, Floppy Disk, Ram,... in a graphic window.
It can be used from the Shell or from PVTreeGUI or PVTreeMUI who are
two GUI designed for PVTree.
PVTreeGUI use the standard intuition look.
PVTreeMUI use the Magic User Interface from Stefan Stuntz, you must
have the "muimaster.library" (not provided) in your LIBS: directory
to run it. (see ReadMe.MUI)

PVTree
Shell only:
PVTree [-options] <root directory>
Options are:
-f Display all files, default : only dirs
-i Set info mode on
-w Force the display in a scrollable window
-d Force the display to de dynamic
-c Use only 2 colors
-r <value> Set the max subdir recusivity, default 10
-s <name> Set the name of the public screen to use
-S <name> Like -s but don't use the WB screen if the
public screen is not available
In the info mode you can click on any file or dir name
to have some informations on it. When you quit, a global
information is displayed.
By default PVTree open a fixed window if the tree fits on
the specified screen, or open a new autoscroll screen if not.
If you specify the -w option, the tree will be always drawn
in a scrollable window on the specified screen. The window
use a superbitmap, so the scrolling is fast but take a lot of
chip memory.
If you specify the -d option (-w is ignored if set) the tree
is draw in a scrollable window but without superbitmap.
Only the visible tree is redrawn, so the scrolling is slow
but take a few chip memory.
You can use the -c option to keep some chip mem if you don't
use the -d option.
The -r option stops the root scan if the number of the
subdirectory depth is greater than the -r value, including root.
Limits are 2 to 99 :-) .
PVTree can be made resident. This is useful for floppy users.
PVTreeGUI
From Shell:
PVTreeGUI [-options] [root directory]
Options:
All of PVTree's options and:
-x <value> Set the left of the GUI window
-y <value> Set the top of the GUI window
From WB:
Supported ToolTypes :
ROOT=name The default root
FILES=YES/NO Like -f
INFOMODE=YES/NO Like -i
FORCEWINDOW=YES/NO Like -w
DYNAMIC=YES/NO Like -d
NOCOLOR=YES/NO Like -c
MAXRECURS=n Like -r
LEFT=x Like -x
TOP=y Like -y
PUBSCREEN=name Like -s
This program is very easy to use:
- Write the root directory name in the string gadget
or click on the drawer icon to open a requester
- Select options
- Click on GO
Be careful when you click on GO because this program simply
run the PVTree program in a backgroud process without waiting
the end of the PVTree's work. This is useful to display
different tree at the same time.
PVTree must be in the same directory than PVTreeGUI or in c:
PVTreeMUI
From Shell:
PVTreeMUI [-options] [root directory]
Options:
All of PVTree's options and:
-x <value> Set the left of the GUI window
-y <value> Set the top of the GUI window

The -s option is simply given to PVTree,
use the MUI prefs to set the PVTreeMUI's screen !

INFOMODE=YES/NO Like -i
FORCEWINDOW=YES/NO Like -w
DYNAMIC=YES/NO Like -d
NOCOLOR=YES/NO Like -c
MAXRECURS=n Like -r
PUBSCREEN=name Like -s but this option is simply
given to PVTree, use the MUI prefs
to set the PVTreeMUI's screen !
This program is very easy to use:
- Write the root directory name in the string gadget
or click on the drawer icon to open a requester

- Click on Draw
PVTree must be in the same directory than PVTreeMUI or in c:
This program uses some MUI enhancements :
- Gadgets can be activated with TAB, RETURN and up/down
arrow keys

even if it's a file icon and the complete path will
