If you use a CRC, hash, or any other kind of non-trivial check code, you have a certain level of confidence in the data, but not a guarantee. If you decide, based on your expert opinions, that a 32 or 64 bit CRC or hash gives you an adequate level of confidence in the event of a crash, then I'll be satisfied, but don't call it a guarantee. Them's small nits we're picking at, though. -- Bruce Guenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://em.ca/~bruceg/
