Duplicate File Locator v3.11
Sysop Promotion
1/13/92
This is a special offer available only to the first 50 responding sysops.
If the theme of your board prohibits such activity, leave me a message
anyway. I'll be happy to see that your board always receives the latest
shareware copy of DFL.
I, Bill Ataras, the author of Duplicate File Locator (DFL), in striving to
promote and distribute DFL as widely as possible, am seeking to advertise to
the public on a limited number of Bulletin Boards.
The offer is as follows:
I invite you to examine the recent shareware version of DFL. You will find it
on your board or DFL's support BBS at 408-384-3658 as DFL311.ZIP. DFL has
been in the BBS market place for 2 years now and, in the opinion of many, is
absolutely the BEST at what it does. The following is a summary of DFL's
features.
------------------------------ DFL DESCRIPTION ------------------------------
DFL provides a complete pulldown menu system with context help to allow you
to find and process duplicate files.
- DFL and W.S. Ataras Engineering are members of the ASP. DFL is full
featured without crippling.
- DFL will find duplicate files by any of these modes:
Name - DFL will find files with identical names.
Length - DFL will find files with equal lengths.
Name1-11 - DFL will find files with the first N matching name letters.
Dos Path - DFL will search the Path for duplicate executables like DFL.EXE,
DFL.BAT & DFL.COM.
FastAlias- Files with duplicate contents are found using a 32 bit CRC and
file length combination. Filenames are ignored. Very fast with
ZIPped files.
FullAlias- Files with duplicate contents are found using the 32 bit CRC and
file length combination followed by a byte-by-byte binary
comparison. Filenames are ignored.
Ex. Sysops find that one of the many uses for the alias modes is
to find all those BBS advertising files that have been
embedded in their archives. It's nice to tag all of them and
hit one key to make them go away.
- The files can then be:
Viewed.
Deleted.
Printed.
Compared in either binary (internal comparison) or ascii (user-customized).
Tagged and group-deleted.
- You may specify a file mask such as *.* or *.exe.
- DFL will scan multiple drives including network drives.
- The duplicate list can be printed to an ascii file or printer.
- Virtual Memory is created and cached to allow the processing of huge
numbers of files. About 1 meg of disk is needed for every 25,000 files. I
know sysops who've used DFL to scan multiple CDs totaling over 130,000
files without a hitch.
- DFL can be run unattended from a batch file.
- DFL will perform all of the above operations for files in any type of
archive. Archives are treated as regular directories containing files that
are manipulated by DFL like 'normal' files. DFL can be customized to run
with up to 10 archive compression and extraction systems of your choosing.
DFL is pre-customized for ZIP, PAK, LZH, PKARC, ARJ, ARC by SEA and ZOO.
- Registered Users Receive:
1. The latest version.
2. Any releases issued to correct bugs found in your version.
3. Phone & modem support.
4. Printed manual.
5. A 30 day money-back satisfaction guarantee.
6. Upgrade & follow-up notifications.
---------------------------------- HOW TO -----------------------------------
If you wish to obtain a personal registered copy, you can do it like any
other normal user... pay; or you may obtain it free in exchange for running
the ad, included as DFLAD.ASC on your board for 30 days. The ad should be
automatically displayed to each user. You don't have to run the ad until you
receive your registered copy. Here's how:
1. Call the support BBS at 408-384-3658 and read bulletin 15 to see if
the promotion has ended with the 1st 50 respondents.
2. Leave a message to Bill Ataras containing:
a. The address to send your registered copy.
b. The number of your BBS with area code.
c. The name/password I can use to logon and verify the ad.
d. The type of disk you want (3.5 or 5.25) low density.
The ad is in the accompanying file DFLAD.ASC.
Thanks, Bill Ataras.
