    Checksum32 installation

You can build an executable file implementing the CRC32 algorithm with
the following procedure.

   1. Unpack the tarball containing the CRC32 distribution:

    gunzip -c chksum32.tar.gz | tar xvf -   

   2. That will create the chksum32 directory: move to the chksum32/src
      directory and invoke make:

    cd chksum/src
    make clean all

   3. That will create an executable called crc32. You can invoke that
      executable to compute the checksum for a file by giving the file's
      pathname on the commmand line:

    $ ./crc32 crc32.c

    Calculating CRC for file: crc32.c
    Read 7883 bytes, CRC32 Checksum is 482575795
