1-Jan-90: I have obtained the following files from Simtel20 to
uwasa.fi archives, and taken a closer look at them.
/pc/pd2
chk4co21.zip Detect lzexe compressed .exe files by John Land. The
package was previously called chk4lz20.zip and the name
of the program seems to have been renamed to chk4comp
from chk4lze. An extract from the documentation:
Utility to show which .EXE & .COM files have been
compressed by PKLITE, LZEXE, (version 0.90 and 0.91),
or TINYPROG. Also can show misnamed .EXE or .COM files.
Output is sortable by size (default) or name, and is
redirectable. Subdirectories can be processed. Public
Domain.
/pc/pd2
dfl150.zip Duplicate File Locator Program Version 1.50. This
facility to find the duplicate files on your hard disk
has quite many bells and whistles and sports a very
nice user interface. Works in two modes, names and
exact, which should be self-explanatory. There are
already other duplicate finders around, but this one
certainly has many features the others don't. The
others include finddupe (which chrashes my PC),
/pc/pd2/where44a.zip (which has duplicate finding as an
extra option), and doubles.exe in /pc/ts/tsutlc16.arc
(which has an intermediate mode the other lack for
faster finding of "exact" duplicates by name, size,
and date).
/pc/pd2
drx094.zip List executables and compression method by Raymond
Kaya. Screen divided in two. This one shows a lot of
promise as an evolving shell, and is in my opinion
already the best utility at the moment for identifying
compressed executables. An extract from the
documentation: DirX 0.94 - Directory of eXecutables.
Files compressed with AXE, DIET, LEXEM, LZEXE, PKLITE
and TINYPROG are displayed in the left window.
Uncompressed COM and EXE files are displayed in the
right window. New: Wildcard tagging has been added.
"Move" individual and groups of files between the
Compressed and Uncompressed windows using the
compressor and uncompressors of your choice.
