XTree announces xtree for UNIX systems version 1.1 supporting SCO UNIX
V/386 release 3.2, SCO Xenix 386 release 2.3.2 and higher, Interactive
Systems UNIX V/386 3.2, Intel 386/486 versions of System V Release 4,
or SunOS versions 4.0.3 to 4.1.x on SPARC workstations.

xtree for UNIX systems version 1.1 allows UNIX users to avoid cryptic,
must-look-up UNIX commands in favor of simple one or two-keystroke
commands.  New features include added support for Intel 386/486
version of UNIX System V Release 4 and SunOS for SPARC workstations.
The $295 utility also adds the ability to log tar, bar, and cpio
archives making it easier to manage backup and restore functions.
xtree for UNIX systems version 1.1 can work in X-Windows environments
as well as with character-based terminals.  The clear benefit is that
users who switch between GUI and character-based environments no
longer lose their file management capabilities.

When xtree for UNIX systems is launched, users are greeted with the
graphic representation of their files in a meaningful tree-like
display well-known to DOS XTree users.  Although xtree for UNIX
systems sports commands such as tag/untag, filespec, global, showall,
autoview, prune, graft, split screen, etc. common to other XTree
products, that is just the beginning.  xtree for UNIX systems is not
just a collection of separate disk management utilities, or a set of
individual tools designed for MS-DOS and transported to UNIX.  xtree
for UNIX systems is an integrated utility that takes full advantage of
the UNIX operating system and offers system administrators and users a
new and better way to organize, manage and protect valuable
information.

Just because xtree for UNIX systems will let users see everything on
their system doesn't mean they want to.  xtree for UNIX systems allows
flexible "level logging" to let users view only as much of their
system as is useful.  xtree for UNIX systems even goes so far as to
enhance UNIX with its unique NODE command which lets users break their
system tree down into one or more logical branches for easier
handling.  UNIX users will also appreciate xtree for UNIX systems'
simplification of the file-search process.  With xtree for UNIX
systems' GOTO command -- all the user has to do is type the first few
letters of the file name and voila (no more scrolling through long
lists of files)!  The ASCII and HEX file viewers in xtree for UNIX
systems make identifying the right file that much easier.  Or, rather
than grapple with GREP, xtree for UNIX systems users can now simply
tag groups of files and have xtree for UNIX systems automatically
search for specified text within those files.  Backing up in UNIX is a
simple task using xtree for UNIX systems's BACKUP command (which
supports tar, bar, and cpio archive formats).  Simply tag the files
(or groups of files) to be backed up to tape or floppy -- then xtree
for UNIX systems does the rest.

xtree for UNIX systems will not override any security established by
the system administrator.  Users work strictly within their existing
UNIX permissions, typically seeing their home directory when starting
up xtree for UNIX systems.  And, xtree for UNIX systems requires no
modifications to the UNIX kernel.

xtree for UNIX systems takes full advantage of built-in console
functions, such as color, line-drawing characters, and keyboard
functions.  Further, terminals supported by TERMCAP and TERMINFO can
be used with xtree for UNIX systems as long as the terminal supports
cursor movement, screen functions (e.g. clear screen, clear to end of
line, etc.), and has a screen display of at least 80 columns by 24
rows.  Finally, if a terminal supports color, line-drawing characters,
and local printers, xtree for UNIX supports these capabilities.

In 1990, XTree Company launched "Project Green" and became the first
major publisher to produce software products using recycled or
environmentally sensitive materials.  xtree for UNIX systems upholds
the Project Green promise with a package created completely from
recycled and recyclable materials.  As with all XTree products,
everything except the floppy disk and the shrink-wrap can be recycled
(XTree is currently looking for alternatives to shrink-wrapping their
products).  For every xtree for UNIX systems user registration card
returned, XTree Company, in conjunction with the American Forestry
Association's Global ReLeaf Program, will plant a tree.

xtree for UNIX systems Version 1.1 retails for $295.00 US and is
available through Ingram Micro, Kenfil, Merisel, Software Resource,
and XTree Authorized Resellers, which include CompUSA, Egghead,
Software City, Software Etc., and other nationwide chains.

xtree for UNIX systems Version 1.1 requires SCO UNIX V/386 release
3.2, SCO Xenix 386 release 2.3.2 and higher, Interactive Systems UNIX
V/386 3.2, Intel 386/486 versions of System V Release 4, or SunOS
versions 4.0.3 to 4.1.x on SPARC workstations.  For upgrade
information, contact XTree Company by calling 805/541-0604.  Other
XTree Company products include: XTreeGold 2.5 and XTree Easy, the
industry standards in disk management software for the IBM PC, XT, AT,
PS/2 and compatible computers; the recently released XTreeNet 2.07,
the leading file and disk manager for Novell network administrators;
