Two questions:

1) What is your opinion of the ProBas add-on library? 

   I found it to be rather large and a pain in the rear to install. Since
my XT isn't the fastest system on the planet, it took well over two hours
to install. I do like the library though. It has routines I never even
thought about until now. (GUI's in BASIC? What a trip!)

2) Does ANYONE have a *fast* CRC-32 routine that I can use from BASIC?

   The FileCRC routine in ProBas does what I want (CRC-32) but it is very
VERY slow. It takes a good minute to 90 seconds to calculate the CRC of
a modestly-sized file (20k or so). I suspect that is because of it being
written in BASIC.

2a) If you do, where can I obtain it?  ;)
