I snagged this of this echo sometime ago. It does CRC32 using only TP With the help of a precalculated table. It does procduce CRC32 values that are the same as PKZIP and ARJ. --------------------- Unit CRC32C.PAS 8<----------------------- { Modified from a version posted on the Pascal echo by Floor A.C. Naaijkens (note introduction of a Constant and a Function and making the Array a Constant outside of crc32() which should improve speed a lot; further references made to a C version in a File of Snippets from the (112 min left), (H)elp, More? C Echo marked as "Copyright (C) 1986 Gary S. Brown" (mostly to compare the large Arrays, which proved to be identical), and to "File verification using CRC" by Mark R. Nelson in Dr. Dobbs' Journal, May 1992. The latter provided the final piece of crucial information. Use: 1) Create a LongInt Variable For the CRC value; 2) Initialize this With CRCSeed; 3) Build the CRC Byte-by-Byte With CRC32(); 4) Finish With CRCend() (this was the part I found in Nelson). The result is a CRC value identical to that calculated by PKZip and ARJ. } Unit CRC32c; Interface Const CRCSeed = $ffffffff; CRC32tab : Array[0..255] of LongInt = ( $00000000, $77073096, $ee0e612c, $990951ba, $076dc419, $706af48f, $e963a535, $9e6495a3, $0edb8832, $79dcb8a4, $e0d5e91e, $97d2d988, $09b64c2b, $7eb17cbd, $e7b82d07, $90bf1d91, $1db71064, $6ab020f2, $f3b97148, $84be41de, $1adad47d, $6ddde4eb, $f4d4b551, $83d385c7, $136c9856, $646ba8c0, $fd62f97a, $8a65c9ec, $14015c4f, $63066cd9, $fa0f3d63, $8d080df5, $3b6e20c8, $4c69105e, $d56041e4, $a2677172, $3c03e4d1, $4b04d447, $d20d85fd, $a50ab56b, $35b5a8fa, $42b2986c, $dbbbc9d6, $acbcf940, $32d86ce3, $45df5c75, $dcd60dcf, $abd13d59, $26d930ac, $51de003a, $c8d75180, $bfd06116, $21b4f4b5, $56b3c423, $cfba9599, $b8bda50f, $2802b89e, $5f058808, $c60cd9b2, $b10be924, $2f6f7c87, $58684c11, $c1611dab, $b6662d3d, $76dc4190, $01db7106, $98d220bc, $efd5102a, $71b18589, $06b6b51f, $9fbfe4a5, $e8b8d433, $7807c9a2, $0f00f934, $9609a88e, $e10e9818, $7f6a0dbb, $086d3d2d, $91646c97, $e6635c01, $6b6b51f4, $1c6c6162, $856530d8, $f262004e, $6c0695ed, $1b01a57b, $8208f4c1, $f50fc457, $65b0d9c6, $12b7e950, $8bbeb8ea, $fcb9887c, $62dd1ddf, $15da2d49, $8cd37cf3, $fbd44c65, $4db26158, $3ab551ce, $a3bc0074, $d4bb30e2, $4adfa541, $3dd895d7, $a4d1c46d, $d3d6f4fb, $4369e96a, $346ed9fc, $ad678846, $da60b8d0, $44042d73, $33031de5, $aa0a4c5f, $dd0d7cc9, $5005713c, $270241aa, $be0b1010, $c90c2086, $5768b525, $206f85b3, $b966d409, $ce61e49f, $5edef90e, $29d9c998, $b0d09822, $c7d7a8b4, $59b33d17, $2eb40d81, $b7bd5c3b, $c0ba6cad, $edb88320, $9abfb3b6, $03b6e20c, $74b1d29a, $ead54739, $9dd277af, $04db2615, $73dc1683, $e3630b12, $94643b84, $0d6d6a3e, $7a6a5aa8, $e40ecf0b, $9309ff9d, $0a00ae27, $7d079eb1, $f00f9344, $8708a3d2, $1e01f268, $6906c2fe, $f762575d, $806567cb, $196c3671, $6e6b06e7, $fed41b76, $89d32be0, $10da7a5a, $67dd4acc, $f9b9df6f, $8ebeeff9, $17b7be43, $60b08ed5, $d6d6a3e8, $a1d1937e, $38d8c2c4, $4fdff252, $d1bb67f1, $a6bc5767, $3fb506dd, $48b2364b, $d80d2bda, $af0a1b4c, $36034af6, $41047a60, $df60efc3, $a867df55, $316e8eef, $4669be79, $cb61b38c, $bc66831a, $256fd2a0, $5268e236, $cc0c7795, $bb0b4703, $220216b9, $5505262f, $c5ba3bbe, $b2bd0b28, $2bb45a92, $5cb36a04, $c2d7ffa7, $b5d0cf31, $2cd99e8b, $5bdeae1d, $9b64c2b0, $ec63f226, $756aa39c, $026d930a, $9c0906a9, $eb0e363f, $72076785, $05005713, $95bf4a82, $e2b87a14, $7bb12bae, $0cb61b38, $92d28e9b, $e5d5be0d, $7cdcefb7, $0bdbdf21, $86d3d2d4, $f1d4e242, $68ddb3f8, $1fda836e, $81be16cd, $f6b9265b, $6fb077e1, $18b74777, $88085ae6, $ff0f6a70, $66063bca, $11010b5c, $8f659eff, $f862ae69, $616bffd3, $166ccf45, $a00ae278, $d70dd2ee, $4e048354, $3903b3c2, $a7672661, $d06016f7, $4969474d, $3e6e77db, $aed16a4a, $d9d65adc, $40df0b66, $37d83bf0, $a9bcae53, $debb9ec5, $47b2cf7f, $30b5ffe9, $bdbdf21c, $cabac28a, $53b39330, $24b4a3a6, $bad03605, $cdd70693, $54de5729, $23d967bf, $b3667a2e, $c4614ab8, $5d681b02, $2a6f2b94, $b40bbe37, $c30c8ea1, $5a05df1b, $2d02ef8d ); Function CRC32(value: Byte; crc: LongInt) : LongInt; Function CRCend( crc : LongInt ) : LongInt ; Implementation Function CRC32(value: Byte; crc: LongInt) : LongInt; begin CRC32 := CRC32tab[Byte(crc xor LongInt(value))] xor ((crc shr 8) and $00ffffff); end; Function CRCend( crc : LongInt ): LongInt; begin CRCend := (crc xor CRCSeed); end; end. { Now to use it...
