While you got a couple answers, I would first like to ask you: what checksum do you want?

A simple 8bit checksum?
a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check)?
a custom checksum like the one on automobile VINs? an error detecting and correcting code?

Just too many choices to give one answer. ed Received on Tue Sep 12 2006 - 09:24:21 CDT
