The original ZTree, written for OS/2 when XTree couldn't log CD-ROMs there. It handles HPFS long names and extended attributes and launches OS/2 programs. ZTreeWin grew out of it.

Our story

How XTree got a second life

  1. 1993

    An offer XTree turned down

    Kim Henkel, in Boronia near Melbourne, asked The XTree Company for a 32-bit, multi-threaded XTreeGold that could log CD-ROMs under OS/2, and offered to write it himself. They declined.

  2. 1993–95

    ZTreeBold, then ZTreeWin

    He wrote an OS/2 prototype in a few weeks and colleagues wanted copies, so it became shareware. When Symantec retired XTree, ZTree came to Windows 95 and NT with long filenames and no 640 KB limit.

  3. 1998

    PC Magazine

    John C. Dvorak wrote that "ZTree's as good as it gets." Downloads quadrupled overnight, and Symantec agreed to let ZTree keep XTree's look and feel.

  4. 2001

    Millions of files

    A user logged 4,498,178 files on a single drive. Users included IBM, Exxon, Boeing, Philips, Motorola, American Express, J.P. Morgan and NASA.

  5. Today

    Still going

    ZTreeWin 2 runs natively on 32- and 64-bit Windows, with new betas published regularly on ztree.com.

ZTree Win doesn't have customers. It has paying fans.

Thirty years of letters

If you want to be in a situation where your file manager has the depth to take you as far as you have the skill to go, then you will not be disappointed if you make the switch to ZTree.

You know? I got to hand it to you. You did a hell of a job on ZTree. I should know, I worked for XTree as a tech in tech support.
