Administrator Marc Posted September 19, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted September 19, 2017 Dunno why it popped into my head, but it was such a powerful app at the time. I sorta miss it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gz76 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Thanks for jogging the memory. Found it filed in a dark musty corner of my mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
943 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Absolutely the best and fastest file management utility. I could do everything with a couple of keystrokes. Much faster than clicking with a mouse these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brings back a few memories of copying software and games to boxes of blank floppy disks. A 40MB HDD was a decent size back then... running a 80386 processor @ 16MHz.

Guest Muon N' Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Why improperly installed? Edit: ah, i see.......probably not activated/registered in that shot. Edited September 19, 2017 by Muon N' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleasantSounds Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I really miss it. Directory compares, file or text searches - there was no better tool. There were a few attempts to create a version supporting long file names, but somehow none of them was half as good. Price of progress... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max054 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Don't recall that particular program but I used to manage my whole business on a Mac Classic 11 including a 20,000 name database of customers (4 k Ram 40 k storage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koputai Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Xtree Gold was the best, we often talk about it here in the office, wishing there was something as good for current systems. Cheers, Jason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 322 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Xtree was indispensable, best tool in the office when we managed our Banyan Vines network with IBM ps2/30's I use this at the moment when I get a little nostalgic http://www.ztree.com/html/ztreewin.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batty Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Another user here. My first PC was a 386sx16 with 4x 256k simms but had to install another 4 to do anything on win 3.1. single speed cd rom and 16 bit sound card, 120 Mb HDD (cost a lot). all that to watch 'defrag' run.

Administrator Marc Posted September 20, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted September 20, 2017 I used to remember riding my pushy across the suburbs with a big box of blank 3.5" disks under my arm. A local guy used to charge $2 a game to copy them while you waited. I spent hours staring at X-Copy! Of course at the time there was no "You wouldn't steal a handbag, would you?" type marketing and I didn't even know the meaning of the word 'piracy'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerav Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Yep had x-copy and the c-64 cassette, there was 1 kid at school who you gave a blank cassette or floppy discs to with a couple of bucks in return for a stack of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerav Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) It was a bit later on but I had a Panasonic 3DO, this was suppose to revolutionise the entertainment market as 3DO was a standard and anyone could make them, I think Goldstar made them as well. Of course Sony bought out the Ps1 and destroyed it. Edited September 20, 2017 by powerav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
