Description

With CalcChecksum you can calculate these checksums (hashes) on files and strings:

MD5, MD4
CRC32
SHA160 (SHA1), SHA256, SHA384, SHA512
RIPE-MD160
HAVAL 128, 160, 192, 224, 256 with 3, 4 or 5 passes

This program is useful for checking downloaded files easily with a GUI and your mouse. I think it doesn't need more description, because it describes itself. Just try it, to see if it's useful for you.

Minimum systemrequirements:

a recent linux version (It's not tested on other Un*ces like FreeBSD, but I think it'll run on these systems, too.)
QT 3.1
KDE 3.1
a recent gcc compiler.

It should run on all systems, that are able to run XFree86, KDE and QT.

Compiling / installing:

Please look at the generic installation instructions in the file INSTALL.
