Hi

I share your opinion, but as you probably red in my last posting the available MD5 implementations are not performing well enough for using them. I used the RFC reference implementation coded in JScript and its really slow, so I decided to just use an external program which works really fast as its written in C. Using an external program is easy, as we can use any kind of checksum checking when its available as command line program. I will try your link, and report my opinions.

Despite this, I don't understand why windows still doesn't have any native MD5 implementation. Any unix has it on board.

Maybe someone wants to port wpkg to C# which has an MD5CryptoProvider as I've seen on the web...

        Greets,

3. You can use md5SumOk() function now to check MD5 checksums against the original one. If you want to use another MD5 tool, just change MD5PROG and MD5PROGARGS.

This patch is very interesting, however I would like to see it indepentant from external commands. There is a BSD-licensed javascript md5 implementation out there, (see http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/md5src.html) maybe we can incorporate that into wpkg in some way?
