It's a simple tool to print a directory structure. Available at least
for Unix:

"       tree - list contents of directories in a tree-like format."

While it normally only generates ASCII output (havn't tried it's HTML
format yet), I found it sufficient for my purposes. I guess for simple
annotations callouts would do a fine job.
