Operation

WinCRC16 is a 32bit windoze utility which will append (or verify) a CRC16 to a file and should run on any flavour of windoze9x/NT.

The program is a drop file target.  Simply drag a file name from windoze explorer and drop it onto WinCRC16. Otherwise, use the file dialogue button to get a filename to process. The progam will recalculate the CRC and if correct, display a good news window with the CRC of the file.

If the calculated CRC is bad, then either the file doesn't have a CRC, or the file is damaged.  If you click the Yes button the CRC will be appended to the file, which will then grow by exactly 2 bytes. If you click the No button, the program will terminate.

The original filename acquires a .BAK extension, while the CRC appended file acquires the original file name.  If the CRC test passes, or if you press cancel at any time, then no changes will be made to the file.

If you drop more than one file on WinCRC16, then it will process only the first one in the list.  You can also type the filename into the edit box, if you know the complete DOS path, which is probably too much of a chore, compared to "drag'n drop".



 

CRC-16 Details

There are two CRC-16 algorithms in use.  WinCRC16 uses the X25/Ethernet/ITU CRC.
