I worked that out many years ago for my last employer. At that time most of main banks used the same algorithm but there was 3 or 4 oddball ones. I still have the routine I wrote in Dataflex, but I don't think I can legally provide it since I'm still under a loose agreement with the employer.
But I can tell you the bank numbers of those using different algorithms to the main banks. Those were 08, 25 & 33, and 29. 25 & 33 used the same algorithm.

I assume it has a checksum or hash in it somewhere. But I know not where. _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: [email protected] Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe
