Dupes/Dupes3
                             Version 1.0
                            (c)JBSoft 1993

Dupes is a program to identify Duplicate files and give the option to
delete selected files for the S3a. Dupes3 is, to all intents and
purposes, the same but for the S3. The only differences are in the way
information is portrayed on the screen.

When initially started a SSD Drive must be selected. Once this has
happened the program will make a list of all the files on that drive
by first getting all the directory names and then all the files within
those directories. The program will then do a sort on the found files
before doing a comparison for duplicates. A choice of comparisons is
given:

     1. Name including file extension
     2. Name alone (excluding file extension)

After this selection is made a list of files that meet the comparison
requirements is shown. At this stage files can be marked. To move up
and down the list use the cursor keys in the normal way. It is
possible to view a file using the Word utility by positioning the
cursor on the required file and pressing 'V'. Information on the file
can be gained using 'I' - this will give information on the current
and the next file.

Once all files requiring deletion have been marked press Esc and, if
any files have been selected, an option to delete them is given. After
that procedure the program ends.

During the program a file called DUPES.DAT is created in the root
directory of the M: drive. It is deleted when the program ends
normally - should the program terminate with an error then this file
will remain.

There are limitations to this program due to memory constraints. These
are:

Maximums
________

     200 Directories
     700 Files
     200 Duplicate files

There are probably bugs in the program which my system does not show
up. If you find any, please advise me so that I can attempt to cure
them. I have only been able to check Dupes3 on an S3a so there could
be problems there.
