resources/md5bas/read-me.txt

If you need to compute MD5 digest strings for files or messages in your
projects, this stuff might be useful. Remember, though, that I can give
you NO WARRANTIES at all (this package is provided "as is").

Files in this package:

aamd532.dll - DLL implementing RSA MD5 digest algorithm
MD5.bas - A VB MODULE wrapper for the RSA MD5 DLL
 Wrapper Functions:
   MD5String (some string) -> MD5 digest of the given string as 32 bytes string
   MD5File (some filename) -> MD5 digest of the file's content as a 32 bytes string
      returns a null terminated "FILE NOT FOUND" if unable to open the
      given filename for input
read-me.txt - this file
Rivest-MD5.txt - original text and C source code from RSA

To install and use:

1. Unpack the files.
2. Copy the DLL of your choice to somewhere in your search path, so
   that your applications can find it.
   IMPORTANT: The aamd532.dll DLL MUST be somewhere in your search path
              for this to work
3. Insert the BAS module in your VB projects.
4. Call the wrapper functions as needed.

If you don't like VB, or if you need something more elaborate, maybe you should
download md5server.zip, at ftp://nt00.esquadro.com.br/md5server.zip. It's
an ActiveX instantiable object wrapper around the DLL that can be used from
any program, no matter what language you wrote their source code in. This
in process server is also free, and can be part of a DELPHI application,
for instance. MD5Server.zip is a 1.2 MB bundle.

RSA required notices follow.

       The MD5 algorithm is defined in RFC1321.

       The basic C code implementing the algorithm is derived
       from that in the RFC and is covered by the following
