Re: Why I find Windows 95's "DOS" unsatisfactory.

With regard to your problem with XTree Gold, there is a shareware program
called ZTree (don't have the website to hand but if you do a search you'll
soon find it) that was developed to be a Win9x version of XTree. It is
still a DOS program but handles things like long file names, large hard
disks etc. It should solve you're problem.
