- As great as it is to be able to weed out duplicate files on a bbs,
- there's still the drawback of having to create the initial database,
- especially for large file systems. The growing use of CD-ROMs has
- made it clear that being able to create the database a piece at a time
- and merge them all together would be a help. Even better would be
- prebuilt databases for the more popular CD-ROMs in use on some bbs's.
-
- Surprise! ZDCS now offers the capability to do just that. The new
- database merge utility (ZDCSDBMG.ZIP) can be downloaded from the ZDCS
- home board, The Hacker Central BBS. To make it even more useful, we
- are collecting prebuilt databases, one per CD-ROM, from users of ZDCS
- 1.64 and making them available as free downloads from the ZDCS support
- conference, These prebuilt databases may be merged with your existing
- ZDCS database in a small fraction of the time it would take to create
- them yourself from scratch.
-
- To encourage the creation of these pre-built databases, we are
- offering a free ZDCS registration to anyone who uploads a ZDCS
- duplicate file database for a CD-ROM not already in our collection.
- Give The Hacker Central a call to see which ones are already
- completed. You can even leave us a message in the ZDCS support
- conference to discuss "reserving" a CD-ROM for which you are creating
- the database.
-
- Just one more reason why ZDCS is *simply* the best zipfile duplicate
- checking system.
