Introduction

	As time goes by more and more Mainframe Systems are being down 
sized to run on PC's, but one of the biggest setbacks are duplicate
records on one file. The JSDDuper utility will simplifie the task
of deleting duplicate records from a file and the utility will make a 
new file without the duplicate records on it.

	The JSDDuper  program must be provided with control information 
to govern its execution. This information is read from the command line.
The format is:
JSDDUPER <INPUT FILE>,<STARTING BYTE OF FIELD>,<SIZE OF FIELD> <OUTPUT FILE> [OPTIONS]

Sample #1:
        JSDDUPER A:\TEST.DAT,2,6 A:\NEW.OUT

This tells the utility to use the file a:\test.dat as the input file and
the field to check for dupes is starting in byte 2 and the size of the
field is 6 bytes long. Also use the file A:\new.out for output.

OPTIONS
        -CASE           Turn off case sensitivity.
        -S              Turn on fast and stealth mode.

Sample #2:
        JSDDUPER A:\TEST.DAT,2,6 A:\NEW.OUT -CASE
This is the same thing as sample #1 but now the utility turns off
case sensitivity.


Registration

  I will keep improving the program if I know enough people are
  finding it useful.

  My registration policy is very flexible. The nominal fee is $10 US
  If you don't feel you will get $10 worth of use out of JSDDuper, send
  whatever it is worth to you. If you are impoverished and can't
  afford to pay anything, enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope
  and I will send you a registration.

  This is not freeware or public domain. Shareware is simply a means
  of marketing commercial software. You are required to register if
  you intend to use this program after a reasonable trial period.

  JSDDuper should be registered for the maximum number of copies that
  can be used simultaneously at your site. Site fees for commercial
