Xtree Professional has new features not included in the original
Xtree, such as:

   much greater speed
   the ability to keep track of the directories of multiple discs
   a built-in editor
   DOS shell which keeps a command history (a la CED)

Even the old Xtree, however, had the viewer and ability of delete
files and change file attributes (which are listed above as 
advantages of Norton Commander).  XTPRO is available for a $45
upgrade fee if you have XTREE already.  It's worth it, especially
if you have a large hard disk that you've had to partition.
