I've just fetched several simtel files and checked their crc's using an
antique program which anounces itself by starting out with "CRCK
program for Unix  ...  Version 2.0  ...  Unix file mode selected...."
I usually come up with crc's that are NOT the ones listed in the index
files, although if memory serves, the msdos crc program I then use usually
comes up with the correct crc.  Can somebody point me toward the source
of "THE" best/most-up-to-date/all-things-to-all-people/National-Bureau-of-
Standards/etc crck program to use in unix systems for checking msdos
binary and ascii files?  And for that matter, what's the MSDOS crc
checker most in use today?  I've been using mine for so long that I
don't know when or where I got it - may even be old converted cpm
code.
