If you know so little about the value, how do you even know it's a CRC ? Could it be a ones-complement sum, such as used in Ethernet?
I'm going by the fact that the application reports a "CRC mismatch" when it's wrong. I can't be sure that what it calls a "CRC" is really a true CRC, but it's more than a simple sum, because changing one bit in the file results in a completely different value.
Is the problem really worth it?
Probably not -- it looks like fixing the problem I'm trying to fix by hand will be faster in the long run. I just thought it might turn out to be a solved problem and someone could point me to an algorithm for it, but it seems not. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
