Dupe V1.4d is a Windows 3 program which you can use to find duplicate files on your system and clear off unwanted copies. To install Dupe V1.4d simply copy the files DUPE.EXE and DUPE.HLP to a directory included in your PATH, such as your utilities or Windows directory. Use the New Item on the File menu of Program Manager to place it in a Program Manager group. The documentation file DUPE.WRI can be read using the Write accessory included with Windows. Dupe uses a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) called THREE_D.DLL to enable it to display its dialogs using a 3D sculpted effect. The program will, however, function without this library being available (it just doesn't look as good). If you obtained Dupe from a Bulletin Board then it is possible that the library will not have been included in the distribution. It may be available from the same source with the name 3D.ZIP. If you register Dupe then you will be sent a version which includes the DLL. Dupe is a shareware program. You may use it for 21 days to decide whether you wish to register it. If you continue to use it you are expected to register it (using the form included in the documentation). Registration costs £15 or $25US (cheques only) and entitles you to free upgrades of version 1 of Dupe. You are free to distribute Dupe to friends and to upload it to Bulletin Boards provided the Help file, the documentation file, and this file are included and you do not charge for distributing it. However, shareware vendors should first contact Babbacombe Computers for permission before distributing Dupe, unless they are ASP or ASA-UK approved vendors. Disks containing Dupe distributed by shareware vendors should include THREE_D.DLL, if possible.

This is another Windows 3 program which will show you where all the free space on your disk has gone, and help you to clear out unwanted files. Bloat registration is normally £15 or $25US but is £10 or $17US for registered users of Dupe. Both can be registered together for £25 or $42US. All prices include VAT where applicable.
