CRCheck 0.9.7
more info on the author's homepage



CRCheck 0.9.7 is a platform independant CRC checking program.
The author claims it runs on DOS, Windows (95, 98, NT), OS/2, Linux, ...
We haven't been able (yet) to check this on all the above mentioned platforms.

The following "how-to-use" manual was provided by Zydox.
 

CRCheck tutorial

CRCheck is very simple to use.

Let's take an example:
You want to verify your hr-cs collection.
The crcfile is hr-cs02.crc and is located in d:\hr-crc the collection is located in x:\hornyrob\cs

You would then execute CRCheck like this:

crcheck d:\hr-crc\hr-cs02.crc x:\hornyrob\cs
The output will be sent to the console and looks like this:

Missing    : 220
Failed crc : 0
Wrong size : 9
Needed to complete collection: 229
Complete collection contains : 357
-----------


First column is filename, second column is filesize, third column is image-dimensions, fourth column is crc32 and fifth column is status. The status field can be {Missing|Wrong size|CRC-error}.

If you want the output in a file instead of on the console, you must use a redirector (>).
Like this:

crcheck d:\hr-crc\hr-cs02.crc x:\hornyrob\cs > cs-wanted
As you might have guessed from the above example the output from crcheck is a wanted list, it's not possible to generate any other type of list.

Advanced use
In the JPEG Sheriff you can drag several directories into the directory list, meaning that you don't have to have the whole collection in one place. CRCheck only takes one directory as input, but it's still possible to obtain the same functionality as the JPEG Sheriff.

For this example we can use the hrpf collection (hrpf11.crc). Since this is such a large collection we'll pretend it's distributed over 2 drives.
Part 1 is located in x:\honryrob\hrpf
Part 2 is located in y:\hornyrob\hrpf

To check this collection you would do like this:

crcheck hrpf11.crc x:\hornyrob\hrpf > hrpf-temp.crc
crcheck hrpf-temp.crc y:\hornyrob\hrpf > hrpf-wanted
The trick is that the output that CRCheck produces is similar enough to a JPEG Sheriff crclist that it can be used as input too.

...and that concludes todays lesson boys and girls ;)

If you have any more questions about CRCheck you can find me in ABPEH, just mention me (ZyDoX) or CRCheck in the subject and I'll pick it up.
