Hi folks.
Somebody made me realize that there is no < tree > command in most Puppies.
How PuppyLinux managed without it, I don't know.
[Edit] I'm exaggerating. Please see below Flash's brief history of the < tree >
command on this forum. [End of edit]
Attached is a tried-and-true version and the basic < tree > help.
Enjoy but be ashamed for Puppy. Yeah, have mixed feelings about it, it's ok.
That anyone has to provide the PuppyLinux community with a separate copy of the
< tree > utility in this forum -- thirteen years after the creation of PuppyLinux -- is
certainly nothing to brag about.
Install < tree > today and be hush-hush about it. Lie about it. Nobody needs to
know. It's a Secret of State: tell your friends Puppy always had it.
[Edit.] According to Flash's findings, it's been available to Puppyists since 2008.
But never widely advertised. [End of edit]
Geez. BFN.
