Freeware Clone Killer for OS/2
since i needed a program to find and eliminate duplicate files on my cd's
and harddisks and since the already available programs for OS/2 didn't work
the way i wanted to find my files, i wrote my own "clone killer"
Features:
- Freeware under the GPL (since i consider it a rather "quick hack" :-)
- comes with source, so there is space for you to improve the code and send
me your improvements
- finds files on any kind of drive (hard drives, cd's, network drives)
- uses crc32 (slower) or md5 (quicker) checksum algorithm
- uses own config file for easy configuration and adaption
- scans complete drives or only subdirs
- scan directories or also recurses into directories
- scans for given specified file types ( maybe only *.jpg or *.gif or both
or...)
- stores values in database (example: you have files already on cd and don't
want to scan these cd's every time you try to find your clones)
- generates "CMD" file to delete the clones found or run it in "unattended"
mode in a batch file..
- delete all duplicates found or files only from specified drives or
directories
Latest versions can be obtained from http:\\www.nheller.de under the
"freeware" section
have fun, Norbert Heller, Mai 1998
