Positive:
- Portable
- Open source
- drag&drop
- Can create md5 files
- Automatic comparison
Files with .md5 suffix are treated as files containing hashes. The delivery package (WinMD5-2.07.zip) contains a md5 file. The figure above is taken after drag&dropping delivery files into the tool. The file with problem “CorruptFile.txt” is well highlighted.
The content of the md5 example file is:
