- REPEATS Michael J. Mefford
- Command 1987/No. 11
-
- ______________________________________________________
-
- Purpose: Checks all directories on a drive and reports
- all duplicate filenames.
-
- Format: REPEATS [d:][/P]
-
- Remarks: While not all duplicate files on a disk are
- unnecessary, most are. If a hard disk has
- been in use for some time it is astonishing
- how many outdated versions or outright copies
- of the same file are currently wasting space.
-
- REPEATS lists all identical filenames,
- together with their directory, size, date,
- and time information, so you can decide which
- files to delete. The optional /P switch
- directs the program output simultaneously to
- the screen and to a printer. As an
- alternative, you could redirect output to a
- file, DUPS.FND, by using the DOS redirection
- command, thus:
-
- REPEATS > DUPS.FND
-
- Notes:
-
- 1. During the time it operates, REPEATS
- requires 128K of available memory. The
- program can be terminated prematurely by
- pressing Ctrl-Break.
