Actually the only code was from this section,

/*
 * SHA transform algorithm, taken from code written by Peter Gutmann,
 * and placed in the public domain.
 */

This is the file that the macros were taken from.  I think that the
driver is significantly different from this source.  It wasn't FreeBSD
but Solaris.  Andreas used a much bigger buffer.  I don't really think
this is necessary as I just want to distribute runs... although the
code I provided distributes runs over smaller areas (128 bits).
Perhaps a bigger buffer should be used.

Bill Pringlemeir.
