DESCRIPTION
-----------
This freeware program is used to locate identical files on your harddisks.
There are already a few programs around that does the same thing but not
many find duplicate files with *different* file names.


USAGE
-----
DupFinder PATH/A/M,NAMES/S,MINSIZE=MIN/N,NOICONS=NOINFO/S

PATH/A/M

You can check any number of disks or directories in a single search by
entering the name of each path on the command line. Be warned though, this
program uses a lot of memory and a lot of time if it has to scan through
many directories.

NAMES/S

If you use this argument only files that are different but have the same
file name are listed.

MINSIZE=MIN/N

If you set MINSIZE to, for example, 1000 no identical file of size less
than 1000 bytes will be listed. Useful if you have lots of tiny identical
files you wish to exclude from the search.

NOICONS=NOINFO/S

If you use this argument no identical icon or ".info" files are listed.


EXAMPLES
--------
DupFinder SYS:                      check for duplicate files in SYS:
DupFinder Work:apps work:progs      check two directories
DupFinder Work: NOICONS             display duplicates except icons
DupFinder SYS: MIN=500              check SYS: for dups >500 bytes


HISTORY
-------
2008-11-15 - DupFinder 2.5
           - Fixed missing TAG_END bug (thanks Ken Wilde)
           - Added name to the memory pool
           - Added $STACK cookie
           - Increased file name size limit to 256
           - Increased max path size to 2048

2008-04-14 - DupFinder 2.4
           - Modified to use new DOS directory scanning API which speeds
             up scans on some file systems

2006-08-05 - DupFinder 2.3
           - Increased max path to 1024 bytes
           - Fixed problem with output text (thanks Ken Wilde)
           - Increased compiler optimization level
           - Modified to use new OS4 function calls
           - Removed usage string
           - Fixed error strings to be AmigaDOS standard
           - All copies are now safe from buffer overflow
           - Replaced Printf()s with PutStr()s for extra speed
           - Switched option from NAMEONLY/S to NAMES/S
           - Attempted to tune the memory pool parameters

2006-07-30 - DupFinder 2.2 released to a couple of people only
           - Upgraded to the DupeFinder 1.3 sources (thanks Ken Wilde)
           - Fixed several issues in the new code base

2006-07-30 - DupFinder 2.1
           - Refactored more code
           - Removed now unused numfiles support
           - Fixed bug in the original code that did not compare every
             combination correctly; led to "Can't open <file>" messages
           - Now filters out non-file comparisons sooner

2006-07-29 - DupFinder 2.0 ported by Steven Solie <ssolie()ieee.org>
           - Updated code for AmigaOS 4.0 native version
           - Added error code returns and fault output
           - Increased size of internal path buffers
           - Refactored the code a bit for readability
           - Removed the PRI/N option not needed on PPC systems
           - Changed the NAMES/S option to NAMEONLY/S and modified the
             behaviour to output only identically named files that
             differ in their size/contents
           - Added Makefile

1995-04-24 - DupFinder 1.0 released by Kjell Irgens
