Last Fall I sent to net.sources the source (in Turbo Pascal) of a program that checks for files that have been modified. Basically it computes a CRC for all the files on disk and stores this number. Run a second time, it compares the current CRC with the former CRC. It also gives a list of all files created in the intervening time. I developed it when a commercial program I had was trashing my files *WITHOUT MODIFYING THE TIMEDATE STAMP*. It can be used with Trojan programs that modify files or tuck files in dark corners of the file system. Anyway, the programs are called FILECRC and COMPARE. I have no idea whether or not they made it to any of the ARPA archives. If there is interest, I can resubmit them (along with the updates since last Fall).
