(About the author)
 
     Very useful when you use cazaa or Bearshare or other P2p, where you download infinity of files, but a quarter is duplicated. It compares all type of files looking for duplicates, how? you select a folder, all files in that folder will be checked and compared looking for duplicated files, it checks 3 part of the binarys and the file LEN, if a file seems to be equal to other, the programm promts for action, and shows if the file is the same. It's like that programm of NORTON... i don't remember the name. it uses listbox, drive list, progressbar, textbox and dir list. Uses two Binary access. NOW UPDATED WITH PROGRESS BAR!!!!!!!!!!

yea, of course I can keep control on floppy disks... but also there are a lot of things that I don't control for errors, because are obvious (for example, check if the file exist before delete it, is pointless)

also A floppy disk how much files (maximum) can hold? check it one by one by yourself.

Hi! Would be very happy if you could make it check multiple folders at the same time, maybe even multiple drivers. Would be very nice if you just clicked a button and it searched the whole computer and all your musicdupes would be gone for ever :D Vould be grateful if you mailed an answer to gross87@hotmail.com, i will check in here though.
