Greetings and Gropings:

I stumbled on the verb CHECKSUM today.  Now, I admit only to limited 
experience with VAX verbs of the esoteric sort.  I assume that CHECKSUM is 
supposed to give a checksum value for a file or image.  when i run it, it 
prompts for a filename, then comes back to the prompt with no further 
information.

By using VERB, I discovered that it had a couple of qualifiers, IMAGE and 
FILE.  It also has an output qualifier.  I can't get it to give me an 
answer.  No mater what I use, it will not give a checksum for a file/image. 

I suppose that I'm making a stupid, obvious mistake, but I'm blind to it.  
Could someone please tell me how to get it to work???


Hackito, ergo sum.
