'ello.
I just took some time to try out Len Levine's FILETEST and Ted Emigh's
FILECRC, and I have a question. Is there a *public domain* CRC package
out there that strikes a balance between these two?
FILECRC either checks the whole disk (60M would take a loooong time)
or limits only to *.EXE, *.COM, *.SYS, and *.BAT (which catches most,
but I'd like to be able to check *.OBJ, *.LIB, and other executables
as well). FILETEST is basically a rewrite of FILECRC that allows an
input file to the program so that you can specify particular files to
check, but each must be specified by full name (i.e., no *, ?).
I took a look at the source code included, and it wouldn't be hard to
add the code for OBJs, OVLs, etc. into FILECRC. I wanted to see if
there was already a package out (*or* a more recent revision to the above--
I have FILETEST release March '88, FILECRC release August '88) before I
went mucking around with customizing it.
Thanks in advance for your help,
