CRICKET v2.11 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WHAT IS IT? ~~~~~~~~~~~ CRC-IT is a DOS utility that generates and validates CCITT CRC-32 checksums of all of the files in a subdirectory tree, specified files, or the entire drive. The CRCs may be generated individually for each file or a single CRC may be reported for all file taken as a single data stream. Registered CRC-IT also monitors the file size and the date/time stamp. WHAT'S NEW ~~~~~~~~~~ New for version 2.11: - Minor bugfixes for Win2k/XP - More informative error codes added - Minor enhancements - Updated contact information in program and documentation New for version 2.00: - Support for long file names under Windows 95/98/Me/2k/XP - Ability to replace part of the logged file name path "on the fly" while verifying a previously-generated CRC list - May now abort program while calculating or verifying CRCs - Improved user display - Instant online registration is now available--see the ORDER.DOC file for details. - Major drop in price! In light of this, for a limited time registered users of v1.00 may obtain v2.11 at no cost! Contact the author for details.

INSTALLATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use PKUNZIP or a similar utility to extract the contents of the CRCIT211.ZIP archive into a directory in your PATH--e.g. (assuming C:\UTILS is in your PATH), PKUNZIP CRCIT211 C:\UTILS Actually, only CRICKET.EXE needs to be in your PATH. The other files are not required for the proper operation of CRC-IT, although I would be most pleased if you at least read them. :-) REGISTRATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~ CRC-IT is SHAREWARE. You are granted a 30 day license to evaluate the software. After that time, you are required to either register the product or remove it from your computer and backup media. Registration removes the "Unregistered" reminders that are displayed when starting and exiting the program.
