        Description:
        
        This size reporter program will traverse a directory tree and
        produce data files listing every file and directory and their
        sizes. Additionally it creates a directory map in PDF.
        
        It will then search for files with duplicate content, and
        directories with duplicate content and structure.
        
        (These instructions assume you are using the Windows binary package.
        If not, use EZ Install to install the script, and run it as "sizedupe")
        
        
        Simple usage instructions:
        
        1. Unpack the distribution archive. There is no need to move
        files around or install anything into Windows. (this
        example will assume you unpacked to c:\sizedupe).
        additionally you can map to a shared drive with this
        executable, including via RDP (\\tsclient\...). It is
        not sensitive to directory location, as long as the
        executable remains in the folder with its DLLs and library.
        
        2. Run the program on the directory you are interested in. Either
        double click the EXE, or open a command prompt and:
        
        C:\Sizereport> sizedupe.exe c:\
        
        3. Three tab-separated files are generated in current directory:
        
        * sizereport_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_dirs.txt
        List of every directory. Columns:
        DirectoryID
        Parent Directory Name
        Directory Name
        Number of directly contained directories
        Number of all contained directories
        Number of directly contained files
        Number of all contained files
        Size of directly contained files
        Size of all contained files
        
        * sizereport_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_extensions.txt
        List of extensions found in each directory. Columns:
        DirectoryID
        Extension
        Size of directly contained files of this extension
        Size of all contained files of this extension
        
        * sizereport_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_files.txt
        List of every file. Columns:
        DirectoryID
        File Name
        Extension
        Size
        Date Created
        Date Modified
        Date Accessed
        
        5. The PDF file map is a graph of directories and files by size.
        The top-level directories form the leftmost column of rectangles.
        To the right of each of those directories are rectangles representing
        the directories and files contained therein. The heights of
        all rectangles are relative to their disk usage.  Intense colors
        represent recent files and pale colors are "old" files.  A label is
        printed to the right of any file or directory big enough to fit it.
        
        
        6. If you specify -d on the command line, duplicates will be found after
        the size report run.  These files are in a readable python syntax format
        for ease of later parsing.
        * sizereport_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_dupes.txt
        * sizereport_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_dupedirs.txt
