Okay, how about this.

You stated I had no understanding of
how checksummers worked a while back,
along with this assumption you also
assummed I didn't know anything about
code (I think Assembly language might
have been mention a few times too).

So I published Assembly code I authored
with a system that used a checksummer
algorithm. The code I wrote was developed
from first principles understanding of
how the "algorithm" works. Does that
have enough substance for you?

I can give you a reference to a very
good book if you like, this book
is quite old (1987) but it clearly
explains how industry standard algorithms
are translated into working code.
Lookup chapter 19 "CRC Calculations"
it explains the maths and principles
behind a 'proven' checksumming system.

"C Programmer's Guide to Serial Communications"
by Joe Campbell, published by
Howard W Sams & Company

Also, here is a book that can still be
got hold of, even a numpty like you
can hand over cash and get it. So rather
than trying to reinvent the wheel here
is a computer science / mathematics
cookbook full of "algorithms"

"Numerical Recipes in C: The Art of
Scientific Computing"
by William H. Press et al,
published by Cambridge University Press


See if you can get one of your groundhog
friends to put on a Harry Potter wizards
outfit and teach you how to look for
the mystical proven "algorithms", it's
not magic!, just good old solid CS ;]]
