Sponsored by BMT Micro OS/2 Warp Fixpak Plus CD - Install Fixpaks with the click of a button! https://secure.falcon-net.net/BMT/order0287.html --------------------------- WarpCast ------------------------- Source: Norbert Heller (norbertheller@swol.de) Moderator: Trevor Smith (editor@os2ezine.com) ---------------------------------------------- Since I needed a program to find and eliminate duplicate files on my CD's and hard disks 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 filetypes ( maybe only *.jpg or *.gif or both or...) - stores values in database (example: you have files already on cd and dont 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
