eXpress CheckSum Verifier description
XCSV is an small useful program created to verify the integrity of files by using previously generated checksum files

XCSV is an small useful program created to verify the integrity of files by using previously generated checksum files. The supported algorithms include CRC32 (Cyclic Redundancy Code), MD5 (Message Digest number 5) and SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm).

The supported checksum files formats include SFV (Simple File Verification), MD5SUM and BSD-style, or "alternative" format.

XCSV is very simple utility and, for this reason, does not demand any installation utility. Simply unzip all files to any folder and run the executable file (usually, "xcsv.exe").

After starting the program, on the screen should appear the main program window. Click on the small button at right side of "Checksum file" edit field, and select the checksum file. Program will load the contents of checksum file into memory and show it on the list box field. The lines recognized as valid checksum values for appropriated files will be marked with small blue box, the format sign and the algorithm sign.

Then click on "Start" button for starting the checking of files. The files that have valid checksum will be marked with small green checkmark. The missing, corrupted or changed files will be marked with small red cross.

Currently, XCSV don't support any command line parameters except the name of checksum file to processing. If you prefer to work with command line, you always can use the original MD5 utility, or other *-nix style utilites.
