[Cialug] Printing Directories

[Chris Freeman]

'find -type d' won't find the files, only the directories. Also, if
you want a tree view, find isn't as efficient as tree.

I think this is a better

find | sed "s/[^\/]*\//\t/g"

If you want to match tree's output, this comes pretty close (but is
not perfect):

find . -name '.' -print -o -name '.*' -prune -o -print | sed
"s/[^\/]*\//|   /g" | sed "s/| *\(\w\)/|-- \1/g"
