Thanks. I originally developed a quick-and-dirty MD5 comparer for the purposes of GWX Beta testing. But when I looked around to see what already existed, I found that they were either command line based (and hence non-intuitive) or single file compare only (I'm talking the free and easily accessible ones here). So I re-wrote mine. It supports single file compare either by hash or by file, and by recognising standard MD5 files, supports multi file compare. It also creates standard MD5 files which are compatible with *any* MD5 application that reads standard MD5 files.
I've kept it at v0.9.0 because I haven't developed a help file yet and there are some fancy features I still want to add. But as it is, it's fully functional and should suit most users.
FYI MD5 hashes for GWX d/l files will be clearly listed for users to verify the integrity of their d/l *before* running the installer. An MD5 file will also be made available which can be opened in MD5Compare and which will do all the comparing automatically for you.
