file duplication software

[Gyn_Paul]

Long ago, in a land far away.....

I had a bit of software (either it was shareware or it came from a magazine cover disk) which looked at all the files on one's computer and compared them one with another and then displayed them in columns saying, "look these two files here have the same name, are the same size and were created on the same day.. Do you really want to keep them both ? Y/N

However, I seem to have lost it in one of them many subsequent upgrades.  Does anyone out there know of anything similar? I could probably free up half a hard disk if I could run it now!

Not the same I know, but have something called Windiff which compares the contents of two files

You could try searching Tuwcows or other Shareware/Freeware sites

It was/is called 'Fsync.exe' and jolly good it is too! [:-))]  I still use it to check that CDROMs have copied correctly.  You can get it from a number of places as shareware including: http://www.fileware.com/products.htm#FileSync and http://www.campbell.k12.tn.us/BITS/Software/  (I think the latter is freeware.)

Have a look for a software package call SPRING CLEAN . It compares files and dates created and lets you delete unwanted files.
