ytree, in the Ports Collection, does the same thing.  Unfortunately,
this kind of utility is well suited to show the differences of scale
between UNIX and Microsoft.  I find that I have 600,000 files on my
machine, starting ytree takes longer than I can accept, and the sheer
number of files makes it difficult to maintain an overview with this
kind of utility.  Instead, the traditional utilities, such as find,
work better.
