- Program FindDupe is placed in the public domain by the author. It is
- however copyrighted and all rights and ownership are kept with the
- author. You may use it, copy it, give it to your friends but don't
- try to sell it. Because the devil will get you and if I find out
- I will prosecute.
-
- The program is a Turbo Pascal Program that reads the directories of your
- disks - it really only works best with hard disks because you don't usually
- have sub directories on floppies.
-
- The program will print on paper (using Epson controls - only form feed)
- or the screen.
-
- It will give you a list of all files, sorted by file name, date, time,
- size and directory there in. It will also tell you if the file is read
- only, hidden, system or sub directory.
-
- It will give you a list of all duplicate named files on your disk, with the
- same above information.
-
- It will give you a Sorted Tree Dir of the files on your disk with the above
- information.
-
- Provided is the source Findupe2.pas, but to compile the program you need
- the Borland Package TURBO TOOLBOX because it has the sort routines that
- are used in the program. If you don't have it; don't fret because in the
- library is also findup2.com which has been compiled with the sort in it.
-
- Best of luck in your computing and may this program help you in keeping
- your machine manageable.

-
- Updated code so that the input string from the command line was a
- list of drives to perform the services on. This change was made
- to allow SYSOP's with multiple download drives to scan all his
- download drives for duplicates. (Here you go Charlie, your name
- in lights.) This version was inspired by Charlie Innusa, a sysop
- running RBBS-PC on only nine 32 Megabyte download drives. You can
- call his BBS, PC-Rockland at 914-353-2157 Subscription node, or
- 914-353-2176 free node
-
-
- FINDUP21 can now search across multiple drives. Just string the drive
- letters after the program name.
-
- The command 'FINDUP21 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP' will cause FINDUP21 to search across
- drives A, B, C, D, E, F, G, ... O, and P. Running this progam on your LAN
- may be detrimental to your networks performance! Note: sorting may take a
- large amount of temporary disk space. For 10K files, an 800K datafile is
- used for intermediate storage of the sort. Make sure you have the space!
-
- Hope this helps all those SYSOP's out in keeping thier BBS's free of duplicate
- files on thier multi-drive file systems.
