If your tree structure is a directory tree (under unix), you can
traverse the tree using my little tree script:

To use it you have to make sure that your analysis function(s) are in
your path.

google:
unix tree directory traversal

On Mac OS X there a package that `man traverse` describes, apparently
programming tools for tcl.  Also, the unix 'find' program might work.
