Greetings and Gropings: I stumbled on the verb CHECKSUM today. Now, I admit only to limited experience with VAX verbs of the esoteric sort. I assume that CHECKSUM is supposed to give a checksum value for a file or image. when i run it, it prompts for a filename, then comes back to the prompt with no further information. By using VERB, I discovered that it had a couple of qualifiers, IMAGE and FILE. It also has an output qualifier. I can't get it to give me an answer. No mater what I use, it will not give a checksum for a file/image. I suppose that I'm making a stupid, obvious mistake, but I'm blind to it. Could someone please tell me how to get it to work???

Checksum can be used to compute a separate value for different part of an executable file. Checksum/file (default) creates a symbol with the result. Examples of both follow: $checksum/image tab.exe file USER2:[VOAOP.ALOK]TAB.EXE;1 image section %D'1' checksum is %X'69211A27' image section %D'2' checksum is %X'270DC263' image section %D'3' checksum is %X'E23A9D20' image section %D'4' checksum is %X'7ED61A58' image section %D'5' checksum is %X'100B731B' image header checksum is %X'3CBF990A' checksum of all image sections is %X'C2CB2C27' $checksum tab.exe $show symbol checksum$checksum CHECKSUM$CHECKSUM = "826517707" Alok C.
