1.1.1.5 ! root        1: Instructions for the MD5SUM Utility
        !             2: -----------------------------------
        !             3: 
        !             4: This utility computes MD5 checksums of files, ignoring end-of-line
        !             5: conventions unless the -b (binary) flag is set.  
        !             6: 
        !             7: This utility can be used to check the integrity of any files.  For
        !             8: this discussion, we'll be checking the files in the PGP source code
        !             9: release.  For PGP version 2.6.3i, the file containing all the MD5
        !            10: message digests is called "pgp263i.md5", but for other versions of PGP,
        !            11: the filename will change to reflect the new version number.  
        !            12: 
        !            13: The file "pgp263i.md5" contains the signatures of all the files in the
        !            14: source.  If you are in the PGP base directory and run 
        !            15: 
        !            16:    md5sum -c contrib/md5sum/pgp263i.md5
        !            17: 
        !            18: you will get an error message if any files fail to match.  If all
        !            19: files match, nothing will be printed.
        !            20: 
        !            21: You need to borrow some files from the PGP sources to compile this
        !            22: utility (md5.c, md5.h, and possibly the getopt implementation);
        !            23: see the md5sum.c file for details.  On some platforms, you may have
        !            24: to compile md5.c with the -DHIGHFIRST flag, or the MD5 sums will be 
        !            25: wrong. Two makefiles, one for Unix and one for Amiga, are included.
        !            26: These should be a good starting point for tailoring makefiles on
        !            27: other systems.
        !            28: 
        !            29: The file pgp263i.md5 is signed by [email protected], so you can be
        !            30: reasonably sure it's correct.  It would be possible for a hard-working
        !            31: miscreant to fiddle with the distribution so all of this mutual checking
        !            32: would not show any errors, but it's not going to happen accidentally.
        !            33: And if you have a previous version of PGP that you trust, it's not going
        !            34: to happen at all.
        !            35: 
        !            36: The only other thing that's needed is a detached PGP signature of the
        !            37: files md5sum.c, md5.c and md5.h, and anyone with a previous trusted
        !            38: version of PGP can be sure that no tampering has occurred anywhere, and
        !            39: that's here:
