		Software for Detecting Plagiarism

• Windows-Based (for most people) current version WCopyfind 2.6 released 12/21/2004
• Non-Windows-Based (for Linux users, etc.)

If you have a collection of documents that you think might contain plagiarized content, you can check them quickly with this free software.

Note: There are many uses for this pattern matching software beyond the context of plagiarism. If you find an interesting alternative use, I'd be delighted to hear about it. -- LB
