That's an important one. Unfortunately getting someone (non-Linux user) to install an MD5 checksum tool is non-trivial and as such will tend not to be done. Something I've wondered ... Is it possible at all to implement a checksum calculator that runs locally in Javascript? The tool would ask the user to browse for their download, calc the checksum, and then, based on the filename, retrieve the expected checksum from the website and compare the two. Until we make it as easy as that I think end-users will never do it. -Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
