I wrote and used to support two shareware programs, Dupe and Bloat. It is no longer worth my while processing registrations, so I have made them freeware. I don't have the compiler I used to build them installed any more, so to get rid of the nag screens you will need the registration program.

Dupe is a file deduplicator program, which searches one or more disks for duplicate files and helps you get rid of them.

Bloat displays the disk space taken up by the directories on a disk and is useful for finding those which are bloating out.

Both of these are 16 bit windows programs. As far as I know they both work on Windows 95 and NT, but they don't understand long file names. I have no plans to produce 32 bit versions of these programs. If you want 32 bit versions I recommend that you obtain programs such as Dupeless and TreeSize.

I occasionally get requests for the sources of Dupe. It was my first attempt at an object oriented program and the style is, frankly, too embarrassing to let anyone else see it. If you want to get some ideas from a program of this type then Dupeless by Neil Rubenking comes with Delphi source code which is far more comprehensible.

dO YOU EVER TYPE WITH THE cAPS lOCK kEY DOWN BY ACCIDENT? If you use Windows 3 or Windows 95 you might find this useful. It is free and makes the Caps Lock work sensibly. I haven't yet had time to rewrite it to work right under NT.
