Clone Killer

README for 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 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 DO LIST: (things that i or you may add or change) - change the "Array Database" - clean up the code and make some improvements on sorting / scanning / filtering - Port to GCC or EMX - Port to Windows/NT - Linux ... have fun, Norbert Heller, Mai 1998 email: "norbertheller@swol.de" www: "http:\\www.nheller.de"
