SpyClones is a free utility for detecting and highlighting sections of duplicated source code (clones).
It makes no attempt at automatically creating subroutines, etc. That job is left for the user. This program
has no "Save" or "Save As" options, and there is no way it can damage your files unless you try really
really hard to (eg. by highlighting and copying text, then opening your files in a separate editor and pasting).
All you get is a split screen display of your file(s) (side by side or up & down), with duplicate sections
highlighted in each halfscreen.

The included INI file is set up  for processing source code written in C, C++, Java or PowerScript. I suggest
you read the help file before jumping in and using it with any other language. Although if you want to try it
with NATURAL, all you have to do is edit the INI file and replace the line "NATURAL=n" with "NATURAL=y" .



Any comments, suggestions, complaints etc can be addressed to me, Adrian Carter.

                  when multiple files are analysed together.
