DB-Dupe is very simple to use, especially is you use it in automatic
search mode. To load and search your database very quickly, follow
these directions.
1. Copy all files from the distribution disk to your database
directory.
2. Start the program by typing DBDUP at the prompt.
3. Choose menu option "File", then "Use".
4. Type in the name of your database.
5. Use the "Index" menu option to create a new index. Index your
file by zip code, or street address, or some other field. Try to
pick a field which will have few duplicates itself, and which will not
be blank in many records.
6. Use the "Params" menu option to specify "Automatic Search". Then
hit Escape.
7. Hit escape again to exit the file menu. Push S to begin search.
That's all there is to it!
