- REPEATS Michael J. Mefford
-
- Purpose: Checks all directories on a drive and reports all duplicate
- filenames.
-
- Format: REPEATS [d:][/P]
-
- Remarks: While not all duplicate files on a disk are unnecessary, most are. If
- a hard disk has been in use for some time it is astonishing how many
- outdated versions or outright copies of the same file are currently
- wasting space.
-
- REPEATS lists all identical filenames, together with their directory,
- size, date, and time information, so you can decide which files to
- delete. The optional /P switch directs the program output
- simultaneously to the screen and to a printer. As an alternative,
- you could redirect output to a file, DUPS.FND, by using the DOS
- redirection command, thus:
-
- REPEATS > DUPS.FND
-
- Notes: During the time it operates, REPEATS requires 128K of available
- memory. The program can be terminated prematurely by pressing
- Ctrl-Break.
