Okay, i've reimplemented the code from scratch, based on the RFC, without even looking at your code, as a basis for comparison. The trouble is, i get exactly the same results as you! Here's mine: http://urchin.earth.li/~twic/md2.py I guess the thing to do is extract the C code from the RFC and compile it, verify that it works, then stick loads of print statements in the C and the python, to see where the states of the checksum engines diverge. tom -- Death to all vowels!
