Added: A new entry to the
Hidden Hotkeys list,
to reflect the new Treespec function in version 3.0.3
Removed the links to the mailing list (which has been dead for a long time now;
however, the archive can still be accessed via this Sourceforge page)

UnixTree:
Finally, after a 16 year hiatus, someone took over the further development of UnixTree!!
The cup goes to Dmitry from Ukraine, who released a new version 3.0.3
Added:
Treespec command (similar to XTreeGold)
Debian package
Fixed:
Improved support of wide displays and long path/file names (while entering them in commands like "Rename")
(These links have also been added to the download page)
Nov-30-2014
UnixTree:
Just saw, someone kindly did a Debian (or Ubuntu) package for UnixTree 3.0.2, thanks very much to Ian Binnie,
he supplies this for download at
>binnie.id.au/Downloads/UnixTree-3.0-2_i386.deb
First of all, we now make use of more sourceforge.net services,
and from now on we will host any file releases exclusively at the sourceforge server/mirrors.
Then, there are now separate binaries for running UnixTree on the console (file "xt")
and under X11 (file "xtx"). And the latter no longer requires to be called from the pcxterm utility.
Moreover, there have been substantial updates to the curses and XVT libraries, and, of course,
numerous bugfixes, which are, however, not explicitely tracked.
And, yes, I kindly ask all users interested in UnixTree usage and evolution to
subscribe
to its brand new mailing list! Don't hesitate, it may change your life.... ;-)
Since I am trying to continuosly improve the configuration of this services, any comments, criticism, suggestions,
etc. are warmly welcomed to be
to me or, preferably, to be
posted at the XTree Forum
And the best of all: New UnixTree versions are on the horizon, watch this space for more news soon!

UnixTree.org : Wow, after about 2 1/2 years of unhappy uneventfulness, now there's really some sort of update to the page:
Added: Finally, the last available development versions of UnixTree have been uploaded to the
http download section.
Ok, finally here it is, you have waited a long, long time for a new version,
so we've decided to come out now with the brand new, feature packed and better than ever:
Well, what's new compared to the previous 2.3.4 version ?
It's almost innumerable additions, changes and fixes.
Details are in the ChangeLog file.
The most important/exciting ones are:
UnixTree has joined the Open Source community,
3.0.0 is the first release under the GNU General Public License .
Thus a source code package is available as well as precompiled binaries for numerous platforms.
UnixTree now comes along with its own terminal emulation program for X11
(called "pcxterm"), which enables a number of unique features:
SHIFT and ALT keypress detection, this means, UnixTree now acts like XTree under DOS,
i.e. display the respective menu on a single modifier keypress -
we've hardly (if ever) seen that in any other Unix terminal mode program before !
This is possible because UnixTree does not rely on ncurses or similar libraries,
but comes along with its own one, called "ecurses" (short for: "Extended Curses") !
(Note that for some reasons SHIFT acts like CTRL in XTree/DOS)
Full, native color and mouse support
Internationalisation, as a first step a German languaged menu is available as an option,
to be selected through the config menu.
A port to, believe it, Mac OS X is available now -
so this finally grants us some kind of a character based, reborn "XTreeMac"...
Added the ALT-'W'hat command, which displays the type of the current file,
similar to the system's "file" command.
... and there are many more great additions ... just explore yourself ...
Please note that some more updates at various sections of this homepage will follow soon,
so stay tuned and watch this space for more facts/the shocking thruth of UnixTree 3.0.0 ... ;-)
Added an "Up to_top"-link at the bottom
right of each page for navigating convenience.
Jun-11-2001
UnixTree's homepage/ (now:) UnixTree.org :
The homepage of UnixTree now finally has a new, more adequate and mnemonic address:
http://www.unixtree.org,
along with an according renaming of the homepages name to "UnixTree.org",
and some subtle green colour adjustments...
Note that the old destinations "http://utho.arkanda.net",
respectively "http://www.arkanda.net/utho",
now simply redirect visitors to the new location.
P.S.: An amazing new version of UnixTree is just around the corner,
it will be released very soon as Open Source under the GNU General Public License,
and will have some nifty new features, like native X11 support, and more
cool additions, so stay tuned...
Note, that the old destination "http://www.arkanda.net/utho"
will continue to remain valid additionaly, and can still be accessed.
However, for reasons of clarity and standardization,
solely the new address (utho.arkanda.net) should be used and linked to.

UnixTree Homepage ("UTHO"):
I have to apologise for the inconveniences you may have had the last couple of days
with some UTHO pages and functions.
In particular with the Download links, which have been completely
malfunctional for a number of days.
The reason was, that my webspace provider has upgraded to a new server hard- and software,
so they moved all the pages there, and, as a result, lots of configuration files, CGI scripts and
Server Side Includes had to be updated to meet the new environment properties.
However, all adjustments now finally have been done, and everything should work again as before,
especially all Download links, both HTTP and FTP now are valid again.
(In case you still come across any oddities, try to reload the respective page in order to access
an uncached version).
By the way, hopefully new updates and additions to the UTHO pages will follow soon ...
finally after a long gap ... so I think it's worth to stay tuned !
