looking for md5sum fon openvms alpha

[Jeffery D. Urmann]

Does the DCL verb, Checksum, use md5?

[Jan van den Ende]

Jeffery,

I do not think so.
CHECKSUM works fine for me, but I have not the faintest idea what md5 is/should do.

Proost.

Have one on me.

(CHECKSUM does not use the md5 algorithm)

I'm told someone from hp is looking at problem file today.

[Uwe Zessin]

I don't know how CHECKSUM works, but I recall from previous discussions (many years ago) that it is rather simple and easy to defeat.

MD5 is much stronger:

Hanging off the page http://www.support.compaq.com/svctools/md5-instructions.html that Uwe posted are md5sum images for OpenVMS VAX and Alpha, DUnix, and WNT x86 and Alpha, especially http://ftp.support.compaq.com/svctools/decevent/ovms-alpha/md5sum.axp_exe
