Checksum can be used to compute a separate value for different part of an executable file. Checksum/file (default) creates a symbol with the result. Examples of both follow: $checksum/image tab.exe file USER2:[VOAOP.ALOK]TAB.EXE;1 image section %D'1' checksum is %X'69211A27' image section %D'2' checksum is %X'270DC263' image section %D'3' checksum is %X'E23A9D20' image section %D'4' checksum is %X'7ED61A58' image section %D'5' checksum is %X'100B731B' image header checksum is %X'3CBF990A' checksum of all image sections is %X'C2CB2C27' $checksum tab.exe $show symbol checksum$checksum CHECKSUM$CHECKSUM = "826517707" Alok C.
