    If the author sold this program as having free lifetime updates, and then changed it later and charges you again, that is fraud. I don't care how good a program is, it does not give the author a right to do that. Even though it's probably not worth the trouble and money a lawsuit could most certainly be filed.

    Aside from that, $30 for a program that looks like something from 1985, lol.

    I was user of XTREE, it helped me understand the structure of the DOS and later WINDOWS OS. It helped to maintain the OS and manipulate files (the tagging feature of file is essential in this). This kind of filemanager is essential for an OS.

    I was very happy that ZTreeWin continued when XTREE stopped. I had already a key in 1999. I am happy that ZTreeWin is still alive and I am happy to spend the requested small payment to continue to use this program.
    A pity that this program is not available in Linux (so I have to stay with Windows).

    Yes, sadly, it is true that this latest upgrade requires an added payment. It is a pity the author was unable to keep the promise of "free for live".

    GIVE MY A BREAK!

    You're given a superior program, for a small cost, and want more, more, MORE. Get a life. You're not forced to upgrade. Many of the features are NOT even used, by anyone. And the author does go out of the way to inform users of all changes, including the added cost, and that this new version will cost you a few more dollars. CHILL.

    ZTreeWin has been arounf for years with many free upgrades. Skip the FRIES and kindly offer some $$$ support to this author for an excellent program, Mindblower! (needed to rant to lower my blood presure) :)

    If you are a network manager or a programmer looking to kick the competitions backside mastery of this tool will make you godlike. Do in seconds what other sad trolls can only dream of. Treat millions of files on multiple servers and drives with contempt. Spectacularly powerful multiple file spec filters and raw search capabilities with global tags and the ability to replicate and consolidate complex directories to a single path are huge advantages. Throw in just about every conceivable file management feature including hex edit and easy batch script generation and you might understand why users love it sooo much. If the author would add the ability to sort, search and tag by access date and creation date I would say it was perfect. This program has been my edge over the competition for many years. Great stuff!!!

    ZTreeWin is without doubt the most used app on my computer. I understand that if you are new to computers it can be challenging, in particular given the great alternatives like Total Commander. Nevertheless, if you are dealing with lots of files every day (like truly yours), it's difficult to find any other tool that makes working with files easier and faster than ZTreeWin.
