REPEATS Michael J. Mefford
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outdated versions or outright copies of the same file are currently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: During the time it operates, REPEATS requires 128K of available
memory. The program can be terminated prematurely by pressing
Ctrl-Break.
