                           =================
                              Version 1.62


Every hard disk is too small if you just wait long enough. TreeSize tells you
where precious space has gone to. TreeSize can be started from the context
menu of a folder or drive and shows you the size of this folder, including
its subfolders. You can expand this folder in Explorer-like style and you will
see the size of every subfolder. Scanning is done in a thread, so you can already
see results while TreeSize is working. The space, whcih is wasted by the file
system can be displayed and the results can be printed in a report.


INSTALLATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unzip the archive in a temporary folder, right-click on 'TInstall.inf' and
select "Install". TreeSize is then copied to your Windows dir and appears
in the start menu and in the context menu of every folder and drive. TreeSize
can be completely uninstalled via Control Panel/Software.

Note: The installation under Windows 95/98 may have problems if the files
are placed in a folder with long file names in the path. In this case
Windows may ask for a disk "TreeSize". You can then either place the files
in a folder with only short names in the path (e.g. C:\TEMP) or, when the
dialog appears, just browse for the original folder where you unzipped
the files.


KNOWN PROBLEMS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* TreeSize requires V4.70 or higher of COMCTL32.DLL. This version is
  available from Microsoft since October 1996 and is required by nearly every
  modern software. Since it is installed on approximately 98% of all PCs,
  we decided not to include it with, because this reduces the download size by
  430kb. For the unlikely case that you receive an error message concerning
  COMCTL32.DLL or the images on the toolbar are  missing, please download
  Microsoft's update of COMCTL32.DLL (430kb) from:
  http://download.microsoft.com/msdownload/ie401/patch/comcontrol/en/401comupd.exe


TIPS & ANNOTATIONS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following information is important.  Provided are instructions and
information which makes understanding and how to use TreeSize easier.
* The "wasted space" is the amount of space in clusters, which is not
  completely filled (the last cluster of every file or if the file is smaller
  than one cluster) The file system FAT of Windows 95 has very big cluster sizes
  (up to 32k), so the amount of wasted space may significant (up to 25%).
  Please note:  size of files + wasted space = allocated space.
  For a file of 1kb size on a 1.2 GB hard disk you have wasted space of 31kb and
  allocated space of 32kb.
* To reduce the wasted space on your hard disk, put folders with a lot of
  wasted space on a compressed drive, or use FAT32 or Windows 2000/XP with NTFS.
  You can also make smaller partitions, but this increases the number of drive
  letters.
* On a compressed drive, the values for allocated and wasted space may be
  incorrect. Normally, on a commpressed drive only a little space is wasted, but
  it depends on the type of compression. TreeSize Professional has full support
  for NTFS compression.
* All Folders, which are visible in the window, will be included in the printed
  report. If you want a complete report, select the top folder and select
  "Full Expand" from the context menu.
* The small indicator bars, which can be selected to appear in the view menu,
  indicate the size of a folder relative to the scanned folders. Large folders are
  additionally marked with a yellow bar and very large folders with a red bar.
* With a user defined cluster size, you can look what the values for occupied
  and wasted space would be with an other cluster size on your disk, a rescan
  of the current Folder is necessary when you change the cluster size.
* You can use the CD-ROM clustersize to determine, how much space a directory
  tree would occupy on a CD-ROM.
* Only file system folder can b scanned with TreeSize, that includes network
  folders in the style \\host\share
* To view the files in a folder, select 'Open' from the context menu of a folder
* The 'filter' and 'user defined cluster size' are not saved to the
  registry in order to avoid wrong values using TreeSize next time.
* "Access Denied" and other error messages are displayed by Windows and can be
   supressed in the PRofessional version.
* Treesize displays german menus if "German" is selected in the control panel.


TREESIZE PROFESSIONAL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TreeSize Professional is also available. In addition to the features
of TreeSize, it has some powerful new features:
 * It is possible to save the scanned Data to a text or HTMLfile , copy it to
   the clipboard or export it directly into Excel

 * The contents of a directory can be printed, including all files and
   the corresponding icons
 * You can search disks for obsolete files (like temporary files, browser cache
   files, etc.) and for very large files
 * Under Windows NT/2000/XP the owner of files and folders is displayed
 * Full support for NTFS compression (the compression rate is displayed too)
   and for symbolic links of NTFS5.
 * Under Windows NT/2000/XP TreeSize Pro is able to scan folders to which the
   current user does not have access to
