-
- EqFiles.rexx is a program which compares files in one or two directories (or
- directory trees) and searches for files having the same contents and
- (possibly) distinct filenames.
-
- You know the problem. You have collections of files (pictures, music modules,
- etc.) downloaded from different sites or extracted from distinct CD-ROMs.
- Often you have one or more duplicates of certain files, because distinct
- sources used different filenames for the same file. You can find duplicate
- files manually, but actually this is convenient only in a small collection.
- When your collection is formed by hundreds or thousands of files the only
- reasonable way to find duplicates is a program that does the job for you. As
- far as I know, all usual "compare" programs make comparisons between files
- having the same filename, and so they are useless in the present case. Here is
- the point where EqFiles.rexx comes in handy.
-
- With EqFiles.rexx it is also possible to delete automatically all duplicate
- files found in a search.
-
- EqFiles.rexx is optimized for maximum speed.
-
- EqFiles.rexx can be used from within Directory Opus.
