'''XTree''' is a [[file manager]] [[computer program|program]] originally designed for use under [[DOS]]. It was published by [[Executive Systems, Inc.]] (ESI) and first released on 1 April 1985, and became highly popular. The program uses a [[text-based user interface|character-mode interface]], which has many elements typically associated with a [[graphical user interface]].

The program filled a acquired niche in the market, as DOS shipped with only a [[command-line interface|command-line]] file manager, until the generally unsuccessful [[DOS Shell]] that was provided with MS-DOS 4.0. Even then, the speed and features of XTreeGold were superior&nbsp;— specifically support for the [[Zip (file format)|Zip]] [[Data compression|compression]] format and ability to [[Undeletion|undelete]] files. The program also has the benefit of requiring very little memory, essential at a time when less than [[Conventional memory#640 KB barrier|640 kB]] of memory was available for programs to run.
