ABOUT RXCRC
RXCRC is a system of programs and .dll files that can verify that
groups of files residing on different workstations or servers are
identical by checking CRC values computed on the file contents.
Comparing CRC values for two files is equivalent to comparing the
contents of the files for the purpose of determining if the contents
of the files are identical. Computing and comparing CRC values are
not needed when both files can be read by a single process. The
value of CRC computation is that it can be done for files to be
compared at different times, and the results of the computation can
be transmitted across networks. This is what RXCRC can be used for.

HOW TO INSTALL RXCRC:
Method A: Use PKUNZIP2 with -d switch
1. Download rxcrc.zipbin and rename it to rxcrc.zip (if on FAT drive)
Use BINARY file transfer.
2. Change to your boot drive root directory
3. Issue command:
pkunzip2 -d rxcrc.zip
This will unzip all files into their suggested target directories:
\os2\apps\rxcrc.cmd
\os2\apps\dll\rxcrc.dll
\os2\apps\dll\mskchk.dll
\os2\book\rxcrc.inf
\os2\book\mskchk.doc
Method B: Do it yourself
1. Download rxcrc.zipbin and rename it to rxcrc.zip (if on FAT drive)
Use BINARY file transfer.
2. Make a directory for rxcrc or change to a directory where you want
to expand all files.
3. Issue command:
pkunzip2 rxcrc.zip
To test .zip file to validate files contained without unzipping them,
issue the command: pkunzip2 -t rxcrc.zip
You can use any version of PKUNZIP or PKUNZIP2 that is 1.1 or later.
