I can't find it in the PARC files either.
I'd suggest that it would be easy to implement as spec'd, but I wonder about the utility. \Modern applications use symbolic links and hidden files (starting with .) in ways that aren't the same as they were on D-Machines with file servers being the main repository of files. Grapher is pretty good but doesn't do so well on really wide graphs.
I'd suggest moving to obsolete/lispusers with perhaps a note?
I agree it's better to move Dir-Tree to obsolete/lispusers.
Just a comment on grapher: If it’s a graph with wide labels, grapher does much better if it is oriented horizontally instead of vertically.

I would guess it was superseded by DIRGRAPHER, which is also pretty useless as currently configured, but does have source.
Describe the bug After loading the Dir-Tree LispUsers module no relevant option is present in the background menu as stated in the manual and there's apparently no other way of launching the program. Also, the source file of Dir-Tree is missing from the project repos.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Initial Exec
, selectInterlisp
Run Medley
(FILESLOAD DIR-TREE)
Expected behavior An option to run Dir-Tree is present in the background menu.
Screenshots N/A
Context (please complete the following information):
Additional context The
DIR-TREE
source file is missing from the Medley repo undermedley/lispusers
, only the filesDIR-TREE.LCOM
andDIR-TREE.TEDIT
are present there. I can't find the file in any of the other project repos either.
