Brute force: use F$SEARCH and F$FILEATTRIBUTES forget if that is the
proper lexical) to generate list of file and File IDs written to file.
sort the output file by FileID, and then scan through it for duplicate
FileIDs.
Question: does DFU have the capability to scan for file IDs or even
files with multiple entries ?
Whebn you do SET FILE/ENTER , is it correct to state that INDEXF.SYS
entry for the file ID only gets a count incremented, and the original
file name remains in INDEXF.SYS with no indication of what the new file
name is ? (with new file name only added to a .DIR file somewhwre) ?
Or does indexf.sys result in having all file names associated with the
fileID ?
