This is name2num
The package contains version 1.0 Beta

file_id.diz
name2num.c
name2num.exe
name2num.txt

This package was designed to assist in maintaing libraries of
image files where multiple copies of the same file exist with
different names.

The program converts the file name to the CRC32 of the contents.
The Directory and  filename-extension remain unchanged.

A log file is written to the CURRENT directory.

The logfile format is designed to be usefull in restoring the original
filename.

The source code is include for *NIX users who want to compile it.
The C file is *easily* ported to *nix, read it and see.
You only need to change a few #includes  and the  Sepchar  variable.

Posession of the source code does NOT constitute ownership.

If you want modifications to the program EMAIL me and I will be happy
to do this for you if possible.

This program when compiled under DOS (using Borland C) requires
the  wildargs.obj  module to be linked in for command line wildcards to
be accepted.

I hope you enjoy using this program and that it becomes widely accepted as
a means to distribute image files.

It would also be very nice for me to receive some money for this program.

The license is VERY generous and is intended to let private individuals
use it freely.

Users who use this in a business that generate revenue are required to
pay the license fee.  The cancelled cheque is proof of payment.
