Lost Treasures of the DOS World: tree!

I luckily stumbled onto a long forgotten gem today -- the Tree command in DOS.

What does tree do?

Tree promises to:

"Graphically display the directory structure of a drive or path."

Here's the output of tree called on the obj folder of a .net project, for example:

>tree
 
+---Debug
�   +---temp
�   +---TempPE
+---Release
    +---temp
    +---TempPE

It's awesome to see the Graphical power of DOS unleashed!

Here it is with the marvelous 'f' parameter, that also shows files...

>tree /f
 
+---Debug
�   �   AboSoftLib.dll
�   �   AboSoftLib.pdb
�   �   TSLib.dll
�   �   TSLib.pdb
�   �   TSLib.vbproj.FileListAbsolute.txt
�   �   TSLib.xml
�   �
�   +---temp
�   +---TempPE
+---Release
    �   TSLib.dll
    �   TSLib.vbproj.FileListAbsolute.txt
    �   TSLib.xml
    �
    +---temp
    +---TempPE

What joy!
