Many compressors (and modem transfer protocolos) use a CRC algorithm
(cylce-redundancy-check) to verify errorless decompression (or transfer) of
packets/files of data.  I understand the need for them but I haven't been
able to locate any _real_ information about what it actually is or how to
implement one.  Could anyone point me in the direction to find articles/books
/source code/other news groups about either actual implementations or the
theoretical basis of a CRC check.  If I get enough useful replies I'll
post the sources and my findings.
					Thanks,	Scott
