I am pleased to announce that I am releasing MD5SUM version 3 Release Candidate 1. The source package is available at www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/file/md5rc1s.zip and the binary package is available at www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/file/md5rc1x.zip
The known problems: in Win2k, it sometimes prints NULL assignment detected for an unknown reason. Any help would be appreciated. Sometimes when doing a big job (like making checksums for a whole directory) and using lfns at the same time, the filenames get garbled and the program freezes. Any help would be appreciated. For some reason I can't get the /-L switch to work, so that LFNs are disabled even though they are supported. The new features: SHA-1 hash support. This is a compile-time option, and is compiled in if USE_SHA is defined. LFN support. This is also a compile-time option, and may be selected by defining USE_LFN Both of those options are compiled in by default with the given makefile. Use SHA.mak to compile without LFN and LFN.mak to compile without SHA. A new /R option to recurse directories. MD5SUM now parses the %MD5% environment variable to look for options. MD5SUM now prints the absolute path instead of the relative path (which works better internally) Bugs fixed: I fixed a really stupid bug where file paths like D:\something.txt couldn't be used. I'm ashamed for not noticing this eariler :-). More great news is that MD5SUM is still (theoretically) 8086 compatible and compileable using the small memory model even with all of the extra options compiled in. The bad news is that MD5SUM is highly unlikely still compatible with Turbo C or Borland C. Anyone wishing to port it back without breaking compatibility with Watcom is welcome to send me a patch. I would really appreciate feedback and translations for the md5sum.en file in the binary package. (and testers too) One more thing: Does anybody know where I can get a function that returns the dos switch character? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
