    Hello,

For the past few days I've been writing a program in the style of md5sum
but that uses the blowfish algorithm to create a cryptographic hash
function. I've been lurking in this group for a little while and thought
it may be of some interest here.

I'd be interested in what people think of my work so far, it compiles
without problem as far as I know under Cygwin, Linux and OpenBSD. It's
available at http://users.ox.ac.uk/~spet1067/bfsum/ and is far from
polished at the moment. It's slow (although I have improved this),
lacks the -c option of md5sum, ignores the binary/text options and the
code is quite messy. For those who try it, I apologise for filename that
results from compilation but I've been using the same Makefile in windows.

James
