Is there a way to quickly identify these "alt" versions?
Maybe by comparing file hashes or track/sector hashes?
Are there any existing databases for this or should I just create one myself?
I seem to remember there was a tool that did this, however I am unsure of it right now.

I guess it wouldn't be that difficult to code something that does a byte comparison on the adf and let's you know the difference %, num bytes different etc... Worth pondering I suppose

Edit in fact yes I do remember see the screenshot
