- Dupes/Dupes3
- Version 1.0
- (c)JBSoft 1993
-
- Dupes is a program to identify Duplicate files and give the option to
- delete selected files for the S3a. Dupes3 is, to all intents and
- purposes, the same but for the S3. The only differences are in the way
- information is portrayed on the screen.
-
- When initially started a SSD Drive must be selected. Once this has
- happened the program will make a list of all the files on that drive
- by first getting all the directory names and then all the files within
- those directories. The program will then do a sort on the found files
- before doing a comparison for duplicates. A choice of comparisons is
- given:
-
- 1. Name including file extension
- 2. Name alone (excluding file extension)
-
- After this selection is made a list of files that meet the comparison
- requirements is shown. At this stage files can be marked. To move up
- and down the list use the cursor keys in the normal way. It is
- possible to view a file using the Word utility by positioning the
- cursor on the required file and pressing 'V'. Information on the file
- can be gained using 'I' - this will give information on the current
- and the next file.
-
- Once all files requiring deletion have been marked press Esc and, if
- any files have been selected, an option to delete them is given. After
- that procedure the program ends.
-
- During the program a file called DUPES.DAT is created in the root
- directory of the M: drive. It is deleted when the program ends
- normally - should the program terminate with an error then this file
- will remain.
-
- There are limitations to this program due to memory constraints. These
- are:
-
- Maximums
- ________
-
- 200 Directories
- 700 Files
- 200 Duplicate files
-
- There are probably bugs in the program which my system does not show
- up. If you find any, please advise me so that I can attempt to cure
- them. I have only been able to check Dupes3 on an S3a so there could
- be problems there.
