- Duplicate Icon Processor v2.0
- Copyright (c) 1991, 1992 by Keith Ledbetter
-
-
-
- DUPICON is a program that will go through your drives and find all
- exact matches of icon files. I wrote this program because my Icon
- collection has grown to approximately 1800 icons, and trying to weed out
- all of the duplicates by hand is quite tedious.
-
-
- The program was a "quickie", so I'll say up front that you are not
- going to be overwhelmed by beautiful screen displays <grin>, but it is
- functional and has been exhaustively tested. v2.0 will now support
- up to 10,000 icons in one search (this number may be smaller depending
- on your available memory at run time).
-
-
- When you first run DUPICON, it will prompt you for where you want
- the program to search. The options are:
-
- [A] All drives [B] Current drive [C] Current directory:
-
-
- [A] will search for .ICO files on all drives (C: - Z:) and in
- all subdirectories.
-
- [B] will search all subdirectories on the current drive only.
-
- [C] will search the current directory (and all directories under
- it). This option is handy if you have one master \ICON\
- directory with subdirectories under it.
-
-
- Next, you'll be prompted for deletion options:
-
- [A] Prompt for deletion [B] Just list them [C] Auto delete:
-
-
- [A] will prompt you for each duplicate found, asking you which
- file to delete.
-
- [B] will only display the duplicates found to the screen.
-
- [C] will automatically delete the second icon.
-
-
- How it works
- ------------
-
- DUPICON first scans the appropriate drives and directories to build a
- table of all .ICO files found. Next, it reads each .ICO file and
- calculates a 16-bit CRC of each file. Lastly, it goes through all .ICO
- files where the CRC matches and does an exact BYTE-for-BYTE compare to make
- sure that the two icons are exact matches. If they are, you will be
- prompted to delete one of the icons (if you asked DUPICON to prompt you).
-
-
-
- That's All!
