The instructions are a hoot....

/excerpt
"Click Start.. Run ... type CMD  (a black screen pops up)
cd   c:\dig
sha1   *

You should see some SHA1 hashes (in here, SHA1 hash is used as an
integrity check, similar to checksums). 
Compare your hashes with the following table.
<snip>

If your hashes are the same as the above table, then your files pass the
integrity check. Type exit to close the black screen."

I always wondered where those pesky black screens came from...lol

Should have thought of that :)
I have many Linux servers here and use dig on them, I could have just
checked that way, sigh...

So there is an ISC Dig.exe for windows? Cool, I'll grab that for sure!

Thanks for the tip!

  You may want to grab a copy of ISC BIND.  ISC provides official
Windows builds these days.  The "dig" tool that comes with it is much
more useful than NSLOOKUP.  NSLOOKUP has always been a little flaky,
frequently gives wrong/misleading/no diagnostics, doesn't use a
consistent output format, doesn't provide all information by default,
etc., etc.  I'm wondering if the DNS answer actually had more
information, but NSLOOKUP didn't give it for some reason.
