Project mention: Looking for a software or script to find duplicates | reddit.com/r/sysadmin | 2022-07-29

Project mention: How do I show the short DOS path in the ConEmu prompt? | reddit.com/r/commandline | 2022-04-18For what it's worth, I maintain my own CMD-like shell (http://www.malsmith.net/yori) and look in forums like this for suggestions/feature requests.
