The eggs are truly better than supermarket ones, and we've cut down on our weekly toilet paper bill since getting them

It is, of course, a dos program that runs in a batch file...
The batch file does a quick dir *.flv /s on all the partitions & disks.
Then it sorts the results using the dos sort program...
Then the finddup program looks for two files with the same name one after the other, and writes the record to a dup file.
Then it reads through the unsorted file to figure out which directories the files listed in the dup file are in.
It's an absolute piece of tulipe, but it is mine own...
I've been writing this stuff for 28 years.
And now I do it for fun.Comment

The only significant difference is that now I write it in C rather than FORTRAN IV or FORTRAN 77...
Which makes it easier since C has such things as the string thingie, so it saves one having to write one's own FORTRAN string processing stuff (as I used to do).Comment

I tend to make tools like that... so that they can be used in a batch file.
Dunno why, in this day & age, but I enjoy doing it.
Must do, since I've been crafting (? or cobbling together?) tools since about 1980.Comment
