- The DUPLICATE FILE LOCATOR (DFL) program is used to locate
- all duplicate files which are on a disk drive of any size.
- There are two modes of operation. The first - NAME MODE -
- searches for dups like any other similar program does. It
- looks for files with matching names. The program begins by
- building an internal list of all files on the disk, along
- with path information. DFL then sorts the list
- alphabetically. Files with the same name will be adjacent
- when this is done. DFL then puts up the list of all
- duplicates in a screen window.
-
- The second mode - ALIAS MODE - is unique with DFL. In this
- mode, the internal list is built and then sorted by file
- size. In this way, files of the same length will be adjacent
- in the internal list. Then DFL compares the data in files of
- the same length. In this way, files with the same
- information, regardless of the names, will be reported in the
- screen window.
-
- After DFL has built the list of duplicates and displayed it
- in the window, the user can view the files, write the list to
- a file, compare files, or delete one or more files. All of
- these functions are explained in the on-line help system.
- Just press F1 whenever DFL is waiting for user input and a
- large help window opens. You can scroll through the help
- window to find whatever information you are seeking.
-
- DFL was written because I found no acceptable programs on any
- of the BBSs I tried. While there were similar programs, some
- had bugs, others ran out of memory when processing my 330 Meg
- drive, none had a file view feature, and none had an ALIAS
- mode. DFL is the solution to all of these problems.
-
-
- Hardware Requirements: DOS 3.0 or later
-
- Memory Requirements: 256K, more may be needed if the disk
- has a very large number of files and
- sub-directories.
