REPEATS Michael J. Mefford
Command 1987/No. 11
______________________________________________________
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how many outdated versions or outright copies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:
1. During the time it operates, REPEATS
requires 128K of available memory. The
program can be terminated prematurely by
pressing Ctrl-Break.
