Hi all,

I was unpacking my 1.3->1.5.10 upgrade kit the other day and noticed
that there are files with .crc and .crcdif extensions in each one.

How are the values of each number calculated (i.e. with what program).
It doesn't seem to be the sum(1) program (at least not the one I have).
Is there a "crc" program that I can get from an FTP site to check these
numbers?

Thanks,
--
