Old hands may remember the old file manager utility from DOS days - gave
a graphical (though in character mode) tree representation of the
filesystem, as well as a few utilities. Well, I'd still been using it in
XP - mainly for a _real_ (or more real, anyway) view of what's on the
disc, but also its hex viewer. (I also use its editor - 1-word - to edit
my quotes file; its limit of just under 64k makes me keep the quote file
fresh.)

I'd been disappointed when it wouldn't work under W7, as I'd seen at
work and on my other W7 machine - but delighted to find it _does_ work
on W7-32.

However, it seems to nearly (not quite) rail one of my cores - even when
it's sitting there not actually doing anything! (Just opening it; it
opens in a character mode window.) I hear the fan speed up, and sure
enough, if I look in Task Manager, core 1 or 3 (of 4 virtual cores on
this machine) is very busy. Not flatlining: the graph is going up and
down a lot. Closing XTG - either via its own way, cleanly (Q then Y) or
by clicking on the close button - returns the CPU and fan to normal.

I'm not _bothered_, nor wanting to get into deep diagnostics; however,
it _did_ (and does) puzzle me that an old DOS utility will use so much.
(It's a .com file, not a .exe, if that makes any difference.)

Anyone else use it and noticed this?
