[Zope] md5 sums

[Samir Mishra]

In my experience, "can be correct" == "human intervention required", not
what one wants to be doing. A lot of bandwidth wasted right here for a "can
be correct"...

(WRT someone else's comments) I like the new Zope site, it's eye candy, I
agree, but how else does one tempt the kiddie-surfers? :) I find it more
functional in some respects. And main goal - also show capabilities of Zope
- is definitely served better with the new site.

Regards.

OK.... I see what you are saying. But we read.....

****
MD5 Sums are 32 byte character strings that are the result of running the
MD5 sum program against a particular file. Since any difference between two
files results in two different strings, MD5's can be used to determine that
the file or iso you downloaded is a bit-for-bit copy of the remote file or
iso.
****

So we both get the same md5sum for the image....

cd2ca5eb1c9c014844895b93339c0291

But the published string is..

0cd2ca5eb1c9c14844895b93339c291

which has 31 characters (30 without the leaded zero).

So........ can this be corrected?
