I am writing an application where I need to be able to check if .EXE files have been changed. I want to do this as part of the initialzation of the package. I would also like to be able to do this without prior chekcsuming of the files and storage of the checksums in a data file because the number of .EXE files I need to checksum is not uniqely determined by the pcakage. I have been able to find references to the structure of .EXE file headers and know where the file checksum is located. What I haven not been able to determine is the checksumming algorithm used by the Microsoft Linker in determing that checksun. All help is greatly appreciated. Please post short answers and mail long ones to me. I will sumaraize any answers I get by mail to the net. Thanks in advance. BTW. I am writeing this for DOS 3.3 Glen U.
