Huh? I mean a program that finds and deletes copies of the same image from my computer.

If they're in the same folder, just sort by size, and the duplicate pictures should be right next to each other. Not an ideal solution, but better than nothing.

Use the DOS find command to search for image types and pipe the result into something like
"dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelisting.txt". The result is stored in filelisting.txt in alphabetical order. Yay!

DOS has pipes and redirections!? Holy crap.

They were added in I think Ms-Dos 6.22 (correct me if I'm wrong), after they saw the Unix shell. Microsoft copies from everybody.

I reckon they do.

For the people who don't know much about Microsoft: When ms was working with IBM, they released several versions of Windows, which were flops. ms stopped working with IBM, and developed Windows 3.1, which was fairly advanced, compared to a lot of other Operating Systems. Windows 95 and above are all based on Macintosh.
As for MS Dos, it was originaly named QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System, since the original creator just did it slap-bang in a hurry.) MS bought it from the creator (I can't remember who at the moment) and named it MSDOS.
The one thing you can guarentee when you purchase a version of windows is It's gonna crash eventually, and there is nothing you can do about it.

Right now, I'm saving to buy my own computer. It will be running Lycoris Desktop/LX, which is Linux based.
