Anybody else worried about that ?
I wanted to implement a simple recursive CRC to validate before/after zipping, but the vfpencryption.fll croakes at about 700 MB file sizes via FileToStr() on my small 1.5GB-machine. LLF functions still have that pesky 64KB blocksize max read size...

Ok, I am lazy:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/md5deep/
is enough to silence my paranoia a bit.
  • Works via command line,
  • output is easily parseble if piped into txt file,
  • does checking against existing checksum file as well,
  • has all the command line parameters I can imagine needing at the moment
  • is by US government (no real worry about virus etc)
  • is so small I am (post 9/11) not worried about backdoors.

    other recommendations anyone ?

    regards
