Hi all,

Ive been given a .bin file that I want to do a checksum on to make sure that it is consistant with what I know should be the checksum. I have tried using md5sum but it spits out a 128 bit line rather than a 32 bit line, which is what I want. Can someone help set me off in the right direction to develop a tool that will allow me to read each word in the .bin and compile a checksum together? I have never used unix before and I would like explanation on what I should do. Thanks in advance for any and all help.
