Does anyone have a version of the CRC error checking algorithm in C or Pascal? I would like to put it in a version of KERMIT that I am writing for the State of Illinois.

Steven: There was a very good article that included this in the June 85 Dr. Dobbs Journal. The article title is "Christensen Protocols in C" by Donald Krantz. The article starts on P66 and there is a special section on CRC on p.68. This CRC is based on the CCITT polynomial X^16+X^12+X^5+1 (Someone must know what that means). The Source Code in C for the entire XFR communications package can be downloaded from the TCOG BBS (612) 724-7779 @300/1200 baud Perhaps this article and code can help you with a KERMIT version of CRC.
