C-128 and C-64 Error Checking program

This is a program that I use often to check if I was able to move a file from
one place to another correctly.  On a C-128 or C-64, LOAD and RUN the "crc32"
program (the same binary program works on both machines; it probably even
works on a VIC-20).  At the prompt, enter the name of the file to check.  The
program will then scan the file and report the CCITT CRC-32 of it.  The file
will be read from the last device number that was accessed.

The same binary file will always have the same CRC, so the number reported
will be different if a binary file was corrupted in transit from one place to
another.

The crc of the "crc32" program itself is: 2305911873

I have also included the CRC program in C code ("crc32.c") such that you can
compile it on a Unix system.  Get the CRC of a binary file on your Unix system
before downloading it to your 128/64 and then take the CRC on your 128/64 if
you want to be (almost completely) sure that you received it properly.

The Buddy format source file ("crc32.s") is also included for the technically
curious.

Keep the Faith!
