I'm responding to myself because everyone is assuming I'm on *Nix. I asked about a Mac for the edification of the OP and mentioned Windows because that's what I'm using. If I were to type md5sum in a console window in Windows, I'd get an error message about the command not being found. I also know where to find the md5sums for OOo, thank you for the link though. So, my question was partly answered when someone said many *Nix util's will work on a modern Mac. I never really asked a second question.
