History/Changes - Alternate Tree - pdTree v1.03
Written by Kenneth J. Davis
Public Domain Tree
Future Plans: When time permits. KJD
I would like to get it to compile using other
compilers, such as DJGPP, Dunfield's Micro C,
and Borland's TC++ v1.01
Update cats library (use cats v4 aka kitten
for DOS and cats v3.97 for Windows)
Sept 12, 2005 pdTree V1.04 Release KJD
Add /DS option to display alternate streams in files
on Windows NT systems with NTFS. Use with /F option.
See notes for V1.03 Beta about DOS version.
Dec 03, 2004 -- KJD
Official source now in fdos project cvs on SourceForge.
Moved fixstub to TOOLS module (fixhdr).
May 30, 2004 pdTree V1.03 Beta Release KJD
Fix so runs on Windows 95 again and compiles for DOS.
On NT we use its advanced FindFirstFileEx (which may
limit search results to just directories, that is,
may omit extranous filename matches).
Warning: The /U option should not be used when
ran under pure DOS, as the DOS executable [stub]
does not yet properly map characters outside of
7bit ASCII range to Unicode equivalent.
Warning: The DOS version may exit early due to
out of memory errors or findnext failing too early.
May 29, 2004 pdTree V1.03 Alpha Release KJD
Update DOS version to properly query screen size
and detect if output is redirected or not,
so /P produces more correct results. [Note:
if ran under Windows XP (R) console, the size
returned by Windows approximates standard display
modes and not actual console size.]
Add support for FreeDOS tree 3.x display options,
/DF (display filesize) and /DA (display attributes).
Add support for UTF-8 output (filenames may not
be converted correctly under DOS).
Changed FindFile functions to use short name for
actual query if exists as LFN returned with Unicode
values that can't be converted to current ANSI CP
may be invalid (include default character replacement
for unconvertable values, e.g. ? character).
May 22, 2004 pdTree V1.02 Release KJD
Add Latvian translation from Kristaps Kaupe
Adjust to continue on certain errors accessing
subdirectories (match v1.00 behaviour I believe).
Add initial /P option, pause after screenful (80x25).
Update Win32 version to also support /S option
Feb 11, 2001 pdTree V1.01 Release KJD
Source includes fixstub that can be used to fix DOS
executable automatically so can be used as stub
for win32 executable (limited testing).
Jan 21, 2001 pdTree V1.01 Beta Release KJD
Ensured compiles with Borland's v5 win32 C++ compiler
that is freely (if you tell them about yourself)
available. Retested with various versions of DOS
and Windows. Tree.exe is dual Win32 and DOS executable,
with both parts compressed with UPX.
Jan 18, 2001 pdTree V1.01 Alpha Release KJD
Implemented proper fix for potential stack overwrites
on really deep (> 30) directory structures in DOS
version. Now uses non-recursive function to display
directory tree, placing necessary information onto
the heap via a 'stack' object. Depth is still
limited to available memory, but maintained goal
of minimal hard coded limits (if there is enough memory
should be able to handle any number of files or
subdirectories in a given directory and able to
handle any depth directory tree up to MAX PATH length).
November, 2000 Fixed relocation table of the dual Win32/DOS binary.
Oct 26, 2000 pdTree V1.00 Initial Release Kenneth J. Davis
Initial Release version of my public domain tree.
Initially called Tree (and labeled version 4) in hopes
it would become the official FreeDOS tree (at version 3),
but I have since given up on that and officially released
it as pdTree. Includes the method specified by Borland
to insure the stack on the DOS version is 40KB instead
of the default 4KB value. History.txt is now separate
as it is for the FreeDOS tree (and this is no longer
attempting to be part of that chain). Updated tree.htm
to conform to HTML Help 4.1 help files (added <pre></pre>).
Using unmodified Jim Hall's cats v3.8 now.
DOS version packed using APACK v0.99b

Greetings. [Apack is free for noncommerical use - with greeting.]
Note: apack produces slightly smaller DOS exes than UPX, but
UPX will make a win32 only binary about 20k.
October, 2000 Tree V4.00 Gold Revision G KJD
Internal version. Not released.
Sept 11, 2000 Tree V4.00 Gold Revision F Release KJD
Recompiled DOS version using small model. Found a
minor bug in the large model compile. Will be fixed
in next release (as soon as I figure out the cause).
DOS version now packed using APACK v0.98b

Greetings.
[ Apack is free for noncommerical use - requires greeting. ]
Sept 7, 2000 Tree V4.00 Gold Revision E Release KJD
Updated w32fdos.cpp to use far pointers, allowing it
to used in large and compact memory models.
Changed traverseTree to reuse buffers instead
of adding them to the stack with each recursive call.
Sept 2, 2000 Tree V4.00 Gold Revision D Release KJD
Modified tree source to use latest cats (v3.71), it
includes most of the changes I made to v3.6 for
prior releases of tree v4. Changed history.txt to
changes.txt. Added history.txt to reflect FreeDOS
versions of tree including ones prior to v4 tree.
Added batch files to aid in compiling.
Aug 26, 2000 Tree V4.00 Gold Revision C Updated KJD
Added Aitor Santamaria Merino's corrected spanish
translation (tree.es) and changed MAXLINE to support
lines twice as long. [version change deemed unneccesary
due to lack of availability of prior release]
Aug 25, 2000 Tree V4.00 Gold Revision C Release KJD
Added check in DOS get volume information for FreeDOS
returning 0x02=File Not Found, instead of 0x12=No More
Files when disk has no label.
Aug 24, 2000 Tree v4.00 Gold Revision B Release KJD
Changed argument processing to allow the switch character
and options to be read in from message catalog. This is
to allow easy changing of switch character and language
specific option character(s). Aitor Santamaria Merino
is helping me to fix my spanish translation.
Added tree.htm for Joe Cosentino's HTML Help (using
existing tree.htm from HTML4.ZIP as basis).
Aug 22, 2000 Tree v4.00 Gold Revision A Release KJD
Added fix so LFN failure detection works properly under
FreeDOS (beta 5 mini boot disk). Now tree also works
under FreeDOS (without using /S switch - force shortnames
only). Also added initial spanish translation.
Aug 18, 2000 Tree v4.00 Gold Release KJD
This version contains fully functional tree (win32 and DOS),
with support for Long FileNames, [DOS limited] network
shares using Universal Naming Convention (\\server\share),
near identical output to NT tree, and support for messages
catalog (language specific output). Tested under
WinNT 2000SP1, WinNT 4SP6a, Win98SE, PC DOS 2000, and
Caldera OpenDOS 7.01 [ Includes minor fixes, such as
now using official DOS 4+ documented interface to get
disk serial #. ]
Aug 15, 2000 Tree V4.00 Beta4 Release KJD
Added Long FileName support.
Aug 14, 2000 Tree V4.00 Beta3c (Beta3b updated) KJD
Minor code clean up and fixes for failing on network
drives (in form \\server\share).
Aug 14, 2000 Tree V4.00 Beta3b (Beta3 updated) KJD
Added a fix to GetVolumeInformation(...) so under NT5
properly detects failure. NT5 does not change the
carry flag on int 21h 0x6900, so the only test for
failure is if it made no changes.
Aug 13, 2000 Tree V4.00 Beta3 Release KJD
Rewrote w32fdos to directly call DOS's findfirst/findnext.
This is a much better DOS implementation.
Aug 13, 2000 Tree V4.00 Beta2 (updated) KJD
Added support for serial# using DOS 4+ internal
int 21 0x6900 call.
Aug 11, 2000 Tree V4.00 Beta2 Release KJD
Added DOS support using Borland's findfirst, findnext.
Supports volume label but not serial #.
Not a good implementation, but appears to work.
Aug 10, 2000 Tree V4.00 Beta Release KJD
Tested cases produce identical results to WinNT's tree.
Except return code, which instead of always 0, uses
PC DOS 2000's return codes. Still Win32 only.
Aug 9, 2000 Alpha version (Win32 only) of alternate tree.
Adding LFN support and message support, so opting
to rewrite instead of retro fitting FreeDOS tree v3.5
with LFN findfirst/findnext/findclose and message
catalog support.
Feb 2000 KJD For a short time official maintainer of tree.
Wanted to add LFN support to tree (current then
was v3.2 - port to Borland's compilers from v3.1).
But alas, my time was consumed with my last
class for my MS in CS. [ And yes I'm still working
on that, but its near complete so I took a break
to work on this. ]
