If CS refers to me, I am reading this thread, but don't have any time to
formulate/test a solution.  Since there's no way to directly convert a
binary number into an ascii numeric, you'll have to do it in bits with shell
code and things like sed's ability to translate characters, and the shell's
test command string comparisons.  Along the way, you'll have to account for
anything the shell does to environment variables (ie are values > 127
allowed, zero indicates the end of string, etc).

The md5sum approach is a reasonable solution, but most systems don't have
md5sum, and you'd have to be careful your data distribution stayed truly
random (if that's important at all).

Busybox, or the bash shell help usage?  Bash has a built-in help command, so
to use the LRP help, you have to use the complete path...
