PRINTING

From the directory window P allows you to print a list of all the pathnames on the current disk, the same information arranged as a tree directory, or a catalogue of all tagged files on the disk arranged by directory. From the file window you can print the contents of a text file, with or without a header. The header, which appears on every page, consists of the file's path, name, size and date, and the page number. In XTree Gold 3 you can also select the destination.

The destination can be either a device or a file. The file has to be named as TEMPFILE, and it will be created in the XTGOLD directory. Therefore if you wish to keep the file you must rename it, otherwise it will be overwritten the next time you print to a file.

Any valid device can be specified as the destination. This includes the parallel ports LPT1 to LPT3, serial ports COM1 to COM4 and PRN. If you wish to view the file on screen you may specify CON, although the file will probably scroll too fast for this to be useful. Better to use TEMPFILE and then View this.

The destination entered is treated as a configuration item and is remembered by XTree even when you exit the program.
