description

IMPORTANT: See UPDATES below - this script is now an orphan Uses perl and the unix tree command (available on linux, or find sources on freshmeat.net) to create a tree based explorer for your directory structure.   Features: - directories are foldable - different filetypes are highlighed - open a file in a new window - mappings for naviagation, - lazy loading of directory structure Caveats: Probably doesn't work right for non-unix systems, I'm working on this, but help is welcome UPDATES: - I have reimplemented this script using only vim.  The new implementation can be found at http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=184 - vimtreeexplorer.vim.  That approach is faster as well as requiring no external programs.  I have now abandoned the original implementation because the new implementation can do recursive expansion if you want it to.
