Subject:How to compare files

Hello,

I would like to know if someone has or knows of a program to do the following:
Search a directory or group of directories and list all duplicate files by
content,not just name or size.
The thing I would like to do was to eliminate all clones of attribute files for
Imagine. I've gathered quite a few, but must have hundreds of duplicates. It's
difficult to control that because the sizes are almost always the same and you
have to try each one individually. Some have diferent names but are the same
file or are placed in different directories.
Another possible use would be to search for images and sounds to identify and
delete the clones. This would spare some space on my hard drive and Zip disks.

I once had a program that did more or less this,but it was old and anyway I lost
it a few years ago due to a crash or something. Can't even remember it's name.

Anyone can help me on this?

Bye,

Nuno
