About Rummage
___________________________________________________________
Rummage is a utility which will let you eliminate those unwanted
duplicate files that seem to pester the PC user. Rummage can also
be used as a file search utility.
In writing Rummage I set out to created the fastest search algorithms
possible. I think you'll find this to be the fastest de duplicator on the
market. I hope you find this product useful in cleaning up your hard
disk.
If you use this software you are required to register it. This is the first
time that I am trying the trust method. There is no protection of any
type. That means you could use this product without any nagging
messages or limitations. Please help make the Shareware concept work.
Registration of this software will provide you with technical support and
future product information.
Find Duplicates Button
______________________________________________________________
This button initiates a search of the selected drive for duplicate file names
that match the search string. To limit the search modify the search string.
There are two radio buttons for this option. Duplicates by name will search
for duplicates by file name and extension. Duplicates by name/size will only
retrieve file names that have equal byte sizes.
CRC Check Button
_______________________________________________________________
It is possible to have duplicate file names with duplicate byte counts that
are not truly duplicates. The CRC check is a way of ensuring that two
files are the same.
Pressing the CRC Check Button will calculate a CRC number for the two files in
the boxes above the button. If the two CRC number match you will receive a
message that the files match. To enter the two file names into the boxes you
can either type the full file names with their paths or drag a file from the files
list by holding the left mouse button.
All C code in my RSSEARCH.DLL file for CRC checking was created by
Jonathan Wayne. Thanks Jonathan.
Search For Files Button
________________________________________________________________
Search for files allows you to scan a single drive for all files that fit the current
search string. This is just an added feature to help you clean up you drive.
The Toxic Trash Can
_________________________________________________________________
The toxic trash can provides you with a way to delete all selected files. Highlight
file to be deleted and just drag them to the trash. You will be prompted before
any deletions are made.
