Every decent Uucp reference should come with the 'g' checksum
algorithm. Although all the ones I've seen include code in C,
and not in pascal as you requested in another post. I think I
recall seeing something in Pascal, but I don't remember where
or exactly what it was.

Check:
uucp-internals                  FAQ posted on comp.mail.uucp
Hanrahan and Chesson papers     Available on the net.
Managin Uucp and Usenet         O'Reilly nutshell book.

I could post the checksum routine here (just a few lines), but do
yourself a favor and get, at least, one of thoses. Don't start
coding on a lousy description. We are already suffering enough from
non-compliant implementations.
