[R] Use R to plot a directory tree

[Bert Gunter]

A wild guess -- take a look at the CRAN "phylohenetics" task view, as
that sounds like the sort of thing that might have tree generation and
manipulation functions.

... but you may do better with some non-R tool out there.

(Hopefully, you'll get a better response, though).

Cheers,
Bert

The idea is that I'd like to plot the structure of a certain root folder to be able to restructure the file system.
