How can I print a folder directory to a text file?

Question

There used to be a program called Dir2Text, which you could just point it to a folder or a whole disk, and it would traverse the directory and print it to a textfile, with subfolders indented and everything.  Now I need it and can't find it.  Anyone know where to find it?  Or is there something better these days?  TIA

The program is classically called `tree':

On a Unix system, at a shell prompt, run
tree -o myfile
http://linux.die.net/man/1/tree

On Windows, at a shell prompt, run
tree > %USERPROFILE%&#92;tree.txt
