W.S.Ataras Engineering is a member of the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle
works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem
with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to
help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an
ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members' products.
Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442-
9427 or send a Compuserve message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman

Page 2
Long Description:
-----------------
DFL provides a complete pulldown menu system with context help to allow you
to find and process duplicate files.
- DFL will find duplicate files by any of these modes:
Name - DFL will find files with identical names.
Length - DFL will find files with equal lengths.
Name1-11 - DFL will find files with the first N matching name letters.
Dos Path - DFL will search the Path for duplicate executables like
DFL.EXE, DFL.BAT & DFL.COM.
FastAlias- Files with duplicate contents are found using a 32 bit CRC and
filelength combination. Filenames are ignored.
FullAlias- Files with duplicate contents are found using the 32 bit CRC
and filelength combination followed by a byte-by-byte binary
comparison. Filenames are ignored.
- The files can then be:
Viewed.
Deleted.
Compared in either binary (internal comparison) or ascii (user-customized).
Tagged and group-deleted.
- You may specify a filemask such as *.* or *.exe.
- DFL will scan multiple drives including network drives.
- The duplicate list can be printed to an ascii file or printer.
- Virtual Memory is created and cached to allow the proccessing of huge
numbers of files. About 1 meg of disk is needed for every 25,000 files.
- DFL can be run unattended from a batch file.
- DFL will perform all of the above operations for files in any type of
archive. DFL can be customized to run with up to 10 archive compression
and extraction systems of your choosing. DFL is pre-cusomtized for ZIP,
PAK, LZH, PKARC, ARJ, ARC by SEA and ZOO.

-----------------------------
As the exclusive copyright holder for DFL, W.S. Ataras Engineering
authorizes distribution only in accordance with the following restrictions.
ASP Approved Vendors in good standing are hereby given permission to
distribute DFL. Non-ASP member vendors must request permission prior to
distributing this package.
Page 4
The DFL package - including all related program files and documentation
files - CANNOT be modified in any way and must be distributed as a complete
package, without exception.
Small additions to the package, such as the introductory or
installation batch files used by many shareware disk vendors, are
acceptable.
No price or other compensation may be charged for the DFL package. A
distribution fee may be charged for the cost of the diskette, shipping and
handling, as long as the total (per disk) does not exceed US$8.00 in the
U.S. and Canada, or US$12.00 internationally.
Disk Sets & CD-ROMs:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The DFL package CANNOT be sold as part of some other inclusive package.
Nor can it be included in any commercial software packaging offer, without
a written agreement from W.S. Ataras Engineering.
ASP Approved Vendors who wish to distribute the DFL package as part of
a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk set, or a CD-ROM package) may do
so provided that all the other restrictions are met.
Vendors (non-ASP Vendor Members) who wish to distribute the DFL package
as part of a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk set, or a CD-ROM
package) must obtain permission from W.S. Ataras Engineering prior to
beginning such a distribution.
If you wish to add any of our programs to a CD-ROM or other collection,
please check the release date of the version you have. If the version
is over twelve (12) months old then please contact us to ensure that
you have the most current version. This version was released in
January, 1992.

Disk-of-the-Month (or Subscription) Distribution:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you would like to distribute the DFL package as a Disk-of-the-Month, or
as part of a subscription or monthly service, then the following
restrictions apply:
ASP Associate (Disk Vendor) Members in good standing are hereby given
permission to distribute the DFL package under the Disk-of-the-Month
style of distribution.
Others (non-ASP Members) must contact us in advance to ensure that you
have the most current version of the software.
You cannot use a Disk-of-the-Month distribution to use up your
inventory of old (out of date) disks. Only current versions may be
shipped as Disk-of-the-Month disks.
The PRINTED User's Guide may not be reproduced in whole or in part, using
any means, without the written permission of W.S. Ataras Engineering. In
other words, the disk-based documentation may not be distributed in PRINTED
(hardcopy) form.
The DFL package cannot be "rented" or "leased" to others.
You may not list any of our products in advertisements, catalogs, or other
literature which describes our products as "FREE SOFTWARE". Shareware is
"Try-Before-You-Buy" software, it is not free.
W.S. Ataras Engineering prohibits the distribution of outdated versions of
the DFL package, without written permission from W.S. Ataras Engineering.
If the version you have is over twelve (12) months old, please contact us
to ensure that you have the most current version. This version was
released in January, 1992.
Licensee shall not use, copy, rent, lease, sell, modify, decompile,
disassemble, otherwise reverse engineer, or transfer the licensed program
except as provided in this agreement. Any such unauthorized use shall
result in immediate and automatic termination of this license.
U.S. Government Information: Use, duplication, or disclosure by the U.S.
Government of the computer software and documentation in this package shall
be subject to the restricted rights applicable to commercial computer
software as set forth in subdivision (b)(3)(ii) of the Rights in Technical
Data and Computer Software clause at 252.227-7013 (DFARS 52.227-7013). The

Vendor Update Program:
----------------------
Most non-ASP vendors have standard procedures for acquiring new files. They
get them from other vendors, BBSs, etc. Most authors cannot afford to mail
disks to hundreds (perhaps thousands) of vendors. However, some vendors
prefer to obtain programs directly from the authors. If you would like to
obtain programs directly from us, automatically, then please help us to
cover the cost.
If you are NOT an ASP Approved Vendor (in good standing), but you would
still like to receive automatic updates directly from us, then please take
advantage of our Vendor Update Program. Under this program you can receive
updates for an entire year for only $10 per program (this helps to offset
our costs).
To receive updates, simply send us a letter with your name, company name,
mailing address, the name of the person we should contact (such as your
disk librarian), the program (or programs) for which you would like to
receive updates, and a check or money order for $10 for each program
(Countries outside of North America please add an additional $10 per
program). Payment in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank only please.
The Vendor Update Program is available for DFL (as of January, 1992).
All vendors participating in our Vendor Update Program will automatically
receive any NEW programs which we may release while their Vendor Update
Program is in effect.
NOTE: ASP Associate Members automatically receive free updates and do not
need to apply for the Vendor Update Program. This is yet another
advantage to being an ASP Associate Member.
The Vendor Update Program is only intended to help us cover our expenses in
those cases where a vendor desires to obtain the program directly from us.
If you have other standard ways to obtain programs, then you may prefer not
to use our Vendor Update Program.
