[Lilux-help] Duplicate files

On a more constructive level, I have written a first version of the 
program. It's only slightly optimised but appears to be quite fast 
already. It will also print stats at the end which show the potential 
gain as well as the number of bytes read vs. the total number of bytes 
in the potentially identical files (i.e. having the same length).

Maybe it's clearer now what my intention was.

You can find it at: http://www.homepages.lu/pu/finddups.txt (the 
webserver at vo would not serve finddups.py).

Everybody, please feel free to try it and to give me your feedback. Of 
course, I would not recommend running it on a production machine yet, of 
course.

Thanks.
