                              Version 1.2


Every harddisk is too small if you just wait long enough. Treesize tells you
where your precious Clusters have gone to. 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 a lot
of space is wasted. The results can be printed in a report.


INSTALLATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unzip the Archive in a temporary directory, right-click on Treesize.inf and
select "Install". TreeSize can be completely uninstalled via
Control Panel/Software.


ANNOTATIONS
~~~~~~~~~~~
* The wasted space is the amount of space in clusters, which are not completely
  filled (the last cluster of a file or if the file is smaller than one cluster)
  The filesystem of Windows 95 has very big cluster sizes, so the amount of
  wasted space may be very large (up to 25%)
* To reduce the wasted space on your harddisk, put folders with a lot of
  wasted space in a ZIP-file or on a compressed drive
* On a compressed drive, the values for allocated and wasted space may be
  incorrect. Normally, on a commpressed drive nearly no space is wasted,
  but it depends on the type of compression
* If scanning large drives, it's 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 printed in the report.
  If you want a complete report, select the top folder and make a "full expand"
* With a user defined cluster size, you can look what the values for occupied
  and wasted space would look like 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 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 sensible 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
* 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 will display german menus if "German" is selected in the control
  panel
* TreeSize was developed with Borland Delphi 2.0
