"Hunter is a highly versatile shareware program"
It is really abandonware, which has become freeware (with no nags).

The page has not changed for *years*!

Doesn't look like a free site to me. It looks like the author is still
paying for the site and domain name and still "offering the software to
the public" - as Shareware.

http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/WareGlossary.php

"Abandonware: software that the original owner no longer offers to the
public. Abandonware refers to a product that is no longer marketed or
distributed by the author/company that published it. Orphanware is used
when the author cannot be located or the company is no longer in
existence. Copyright laws apply to Orphanware and Abandonware. The
programs are freeware only if they were released as freeware (or given
freeware status by the owner at a later date)."

The features page talks a lot about CSV files. Do you need to have
them for Hunter to effectively find dupes?
