This message has been marked as the solution to the initial question of the thread.
I just downloaded a program called HashCalc from SlavaSoft. Their MD5 calculation on mytest123 returns the same value as the md5.fll that I was using. I'm pretty convinced that md5.fll is working correctly. I found that I was not matching the server's hash value because of a difference in an uppercase letter versus a lower case letter in the hash string.

>We are needing to create a hash value to compare to a value returned by a web server hosted by a third party. I downloaded the md5.fll mentioned in a few of the previous MD5 threads found on UT and have been using that to try to re-create the hash value. However, I still have not been able to match the server's hash value even though I'm creating my hash value based on the same string they are (according to their documentation.)

I know what they say about assuming) that each character in my 16 bit string represents a hex value. So I converted it to come up with my resulting 32 character string above.
