In response to Doug's negative comments (because I feel compelled)... FAST can use all the backend scripting features of any *nix system, so it is not reliant on the VBA client. Anyone in their right mind running Oracle, runs it on Linux or Solaris or something of the like on the backend. (Unless

I would never use HASH.HELP on a file, there are known problems with it. Examples are not providing a prime modulus, and calculating the wrong file time. I have used FAST for many years, and now recommend it to our customers. It is far more accurate, and easier to use, than any tool UniVerse p
