- Thanks. That's exactly what I meant by a zip crc. Someone else
- provided the Unix sum 23908, so now I'm satisified I have a good
- copy.
-
- And yes, the crc in the zip file is on the uncompressed data. This
- provides a check of both the fidelity of the zip file and the correctness
- of the compression and decompression algorithms and implementations.
