For your last resort, I found a Java program for this, that I have briefly tested on Linux and Windows.
At this website: http://www.rgagnon.com/howto.html Click on Security, then click on "Create a checksum" Copy and paste the program to your editor. Change this line: System.out.println(getMD5Checksum("apache-tomcat-5.5.17.exe")); to this: System.out.println(getMD5Checksum(args[0])+" "+args[0]); Save as MD5Checksum.java Compile javac MD5Checksum.java It will work kind of like md5sum, but only one file per run. java MD5Checksum file_name Bill On Wed, 23 Nov 2011 00:28:16 +0530, N wrote: >I wanted to use Java (http://code.google.com/p/guava-libraries/) as a last >resort.
