In the February 13 issue of PC Magazine, there's an article by Wolfgang Stiller
which describes a toolkit that can be used to detect data modification/damage
on a PC/DOS machine.  The toolkit, PCDATA, can be downloaded from Compuserve.

The toolkit is pretty extensive; for example, there's a utility
to calculate two different cksums on files, another to do file compares and
still a third to check the DOS boot sectors and partition tables.

But the best part is, it's free.

For more information, see p. 263 of the Feb. 13 1990 issue of PC Magazine.
