Thanks for your reply.

My wish!

I have a directory tree with about 100 directories. (with pictures).
five main directories then the rest as sub-directories.

I'm about to write a program to get a quick view over all directories on 
the screen.
Thinking of presenting the main directories in 5 columns and the other 
directories under these.

I was going to use different colors to separate subdirectories of the 
subdirectories below these,
____________________

Subdirectories can be changed (directories can be added and directories 
can be removed)
As long as this is presented on the screen, I feel no major problems.

But now came a desire - Can you print the structure of directories?
If the directory structure was static it would have been easy....

____________________

Began to seek a program so I could control the printing, and then I 
ended up here.
Found a little guide somewhere (which I lost), which described the step 
by step how to program. It looked easy to manage.
After that, I began to seek a more comprehensive manual, and then began 
it to "fuss itself"
(pdfLaTeX - pdfTeX - ConTeX - MikTex - TexLive - TexWorks - LuaTex - 
XeTex.....and so on)


Whats differ?
Which "version" can solve my problem?
What kind of "TeX" I'll teach me to reach this goal?

Basically, I deal with text (a4, maybe landscape, font, size, bold, 
color, table....)
(But it can be good if it is possible to add such as a logo))

As my solution now looks like
I intend to write a program (for example in pdflatex), which gives me a 
"good" layout.
then I intend to write another program that modify in the (. Tex) file
after that the file is automatically converted to a PDF file.

I can not teach me "everything", but want to solve my problem
