Hello Kenneth,

What kind of course does you involving this project? The algorithm of NoClone is very easy if you are student of computer or related discipline, a recursive search of files and storing comparison result in main memory. However, for the sake of scalability, the former one leads to out of stack and the latter out of memory error. What do you recommend to tackle these limitations?

to whom it may concern;

we're having our study involving your software

NoCLone. we asking for some support, in terms of

documentation and structures on how this software has

been made. what are the file formats it supports, what

are those not supported, also if there's any

limitations we are happy to receive those imformation

from you. because we want to conduct a study in which

we're going to improve or enhance the existing version

as part of our curriculum.

we're looking forward for your immediate response.

thank you very much

we are Computer Studies students. but can u give us in detailed information about this algorithm you use in order to search for duplicate files? we need any documentation you could give us... along with our observation, we have find out the following limitations:

1. Doesn't have search option to input particular file name or folder to produce intended duplicated file results
2. Doesn't have the ability to schedule the scanning.
3. Doesn't have a built in Line-to-Line comparison

our objectives is to provide solution to these problems. is it feasible?

Thanks for your interest. Here are responses to the limitations:

To add a specified file, you can select a folder by clicking Broswe button or input manually and then type the file name in file type text box. To add a specified folder, choose folder with Browse button or manual input and select All files in file type field or other file types. After that, click Add>.
Yes, currently this feature is still in enhancement list for future release.
Good idea to be implemented. In the meantime, you can use visual studio's WinDiff for line-by-line comparison.

sir, can u give information on how to make a recursive search in VB... coz some of my colleague have said that.. it takes 6 minutes to scan a file if we're going to program it manually, he said that we have to have resources in order to do what NoClone does. is it true? can we develop same application to noclone in VB alone? can u give us ur comments... thanks..

sir, actualy we don't have an in depth knowledge in programming and it is very obvious... we are asking you sir for help, whether in the programming aspect or for guidelines that we should do in order to finish our study... if u could only lend us some codes that we could use to develop our study, that would be great help. if not it's ok. we just want your coordination on us.. thanks
