NAME

       ytree - File Manager -

SYNOPSYS

       ytree [archive file|directory]

              function (copy this to your ~/.bashrc):

              function yt
              {
                echo cd $PWD >~/.ytree-$$.chdir
                /usr/bin/ytree $1 $2 $3 $4 $5

       ytree switches to archive-modus automatically either by choosing an archive file with  the
       Log  commando  or  by  calling ytree from the command line with an archive file given as a
       command line argument.

       ytree recognize the  filename  extensions  ".F",  ".Z",  ".z"  and  ".gz"  and  calls  the
       appropriate uncompressor MELT (default=melt), UNCOMPRESS (default=uncompress) and GNUUNZIP
       (default=gunzip -c). You may change these settings in ~/.ytree.

       ytree supports following archive types and requires:

                TAR-Files: gtar     (tested with GNU-TAR 1.12)
                ARC-Files: arc      (tested with arc 5.12 02/05/86)
                LHA-Files: xlharc   (tested with xlharc V1.02 1989)
                ZIP-Files: unzip    (tested with unzip v5.0 08/92)
                "   "      zipinfo  (tested with zipinfo v1.0 08/92)
                ZOO-Files: zoo      (tested with zoo v2.10)
                RAR-Files: unrar    (tested with unrar v2.01
                RPM-Files: rpm2cpio (tested with RedHat V6.1)
                "   "      rpm      (tested with RedHat V6.1)

       Archive files will be recognized by filename extension (e.g zoo, zip).  TAR-Files may have
       following extensions:

                ".F", ".TFR", ".Faa",                            (freeze)
                ".Z", ".TZ", ".TZR", ".Xaa",                   (compress)
                ".z", ".gz", ".tzr", ".tz", ".xaa", ".tgz", ".TGZ",
                ".taz", ".TAZ", ".tpz" und ".TPZ"                  (gzip)

       The View commando is customizeable in the [VIEWER] section of ~/.ytree:

       Example:

        [VIEWER]
        .jpg,.gif,.bmp,.tif,.ppm,.xpm=xv
        .1,.2,.3,.4,.5,.6,.7,.8,.n=nroff -man | less
        .ps=ghostview
        .mid,.MID=playmidi -e
        .wav,.WAV=splay
        .au=auplay
        .avi,.mpg,.mov=xanim
        .htm,.html=lynx
        .pdf,.PDF=acroread
        .mp3=mpg123

       A  command-line history is supported: Use cursor up/down.  Use "F2" on the command-line to
       select directories.
