Robert MD5 is used to sign files that there were not modified by someone else. If you take a look at some Linux distribution, you can see that there are MD5 checksums of these ISO images (or other files), so you can check if the file is not modified even if you download it from different location (mirror). I don't need this in Rebol (because I have another utility to count MD5 (even on large files), I'm just pointing to a possible problem with Rebol -> using MD5 in Rebol on large file is useless:( -- Best regards, rebOldes -----------------[ http://oldes.multimedia.cz/ ] -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.
