Does anyone have a copy of Microsoft's CRC Verifycation Utility, Version 3.00 that was once at http://tacobell.iexb...onghorn/crc.exe? I have version 3.05 but need version 3.00. If anyone can send it to me or provide a working link, I would greatly appreciate it.

Is there a specific need for that software? I personally use the HashTab (freeware) shell extension for comparing hashes

Thanks for the reply and link to HashTab. I did locate version 3.00. I thought I remembered it able to handle larger files than version 3.05, but I was wrong.

I had to check, PE Explorer shows the Real Checksum (real) and the Link Checksum (header) and can update the latter to match. Of course it does much more than that

They're completely different beasts. PE explorer is an expensive tool that lets you see (and fix if needed) the "special" hashing used by PE exe's.

Hashtab (and md5sum and what not) all perform plain old standard file hashing (not the same thing at all).

There are a bunch of good Hash calculating/verifying apps available(i prefer the command-line fsum.exe), and IMHO, then the only need for Msft's CRC verification tool, is if wanting to verify the AutoCRC value of MSDN ISO's, or other ISO's made with cdimage.exe's -x switch, and for that, then v3.05 is just fine...

Just my 2 cents, though

Writing a basic md5 or sha-1 hashing cmd line util only takes like 5 minutes anyways

As long as the ISO is under 4GB, that is (it's like 12 years old, no surprises here).
