                              Version 1.43


Every hard disk is too small if you just wait long enough. Treesize tells you
where precious Clusters have gone. From the context menu of a folder
or drive, TreeSize shows you the size of this folder, recursively including
the subfolders. You can expand this folder in Explorer-like style and you will
get the size of the subfolders. It works like the UNIX-command "du" with a
Win95 graphical user interface. Scanning is done in a thread and the wasted
space can be displayed, so it is easy to find areas on the disk, where much
space is wasted. 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.


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 aevery file or if the file is smaller
  than one cluster) The filesystem of Windows 95 has very big cluster sizes
  (up to 32k), so the amount of wasted space may significant (up to 25%).
  Pleae note:  size of files + wasted space = allocated space.
  For a file of 1kb size on a 1.2 GB hardisk you have wasted space of 31kb and
  allocated space of 32kb.
* To reduce the wasted space on your harddisk, put folders with a lot of
  wasted space on a compressed drive, or use the new Windows 95 OEM release 2
  with FAT32 or Windows NT with NTFS. You can also make smaller partitons, 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 onyl little space is wasted, but
  it depends on the type of compression
* In scanning large drives, it may be better to use no sort criteria, because
  otherwise the folders will constantly change their position in the tree.
* 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 markes 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. There may be a slight difference of about
  0.25% to the real size on a CD-ROM. Use the user defined cluster size for exact
  values.
* You will only get true values for allocated space, wasted space, free
  space and bytes per cluster if you select file system folders. Folders like
  "My Computer" or the "Network Neighbourhood" can contain several drives with
  different cluster sizes. These values are not printed in the report if you
  select a non file system folder
* To view the files in a folder, select 'Open' from the context menu
* The 'filter' and 'user defined cluster size' are not saved to the the
  registry in order to avoid wrong values using TreeSize next time
* Treesize displays german menus if "German" is selected in the control panel
* TreeSize was developed with Borland Delphi

KNOWN PROBLEMS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* If you are using MS Internet Explorer 4 withh Active Desktop or Windows 98,
  the size of the Recycle Bin is not correct, because Microsoft uses a new
  storage scheme.
* On some systems with IE4 installes, TreeSize produces an Access Violation in
  CDFVIEW.DLL when it tries to scan the Channels folder. I don't know yet, why
  it happens, because I don't get this error here on my system. Also Treesize
  Professional seems to be not affected.
