[comp.sys.handhelds] No need for CRC for strings

Jake-S@cup.portal.com (Jake G Schwartz) (01/29/91)

Hi folks - 
   I keep reading about people scrambling to get the checksum of strings
so as to be able to create their own objects via the ASC-> routine. This
will all be obsolete, as soon as we can coax Rick Grevelle to post his 
new "Hacker's Toolbox" routines here in c.s.h. He tells me he is almost
finished writing the article. One pair of routines performs like ASC-> and
->ASC, but does NOT require messing around with checksums at all. You 
simply key in the string, press the button and you have the object, clean
and simple. 
    Hey Rick - can we count on you to tell the rest of the world soon?
<grin>
