   Hey Tony!   
      
    TL> I got an 8 digit decimal output from cksum   
      
   It needs to be converted to hex for comparitive purposes;   
      
     printf "%08X\n" 89108290   
      
   which outputs 054FAF42 which differs from the DOS output - E6A6D14C.   
      
    TL> which is either too short to be 32 bit   
      
   Unsigned 32 bit integers vary from 0 to 4294967295, which correspond to   
   00000000 to FFFFFFFF in hex speak.  The eight digit hex output requires   
   padding for integers less than 268435456.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
