It appears that we need to modify the PG web site to include checksum and CRC data on each of our files to provide a mechanism of verifying that they have not been nefariously modified after download, so "my" electronic copy can be judged the same as "your" electronic copy.
We already have hashes for all our files. That's the way KaZaa and other P2P networks work. We keep more hashes for every file than you may want to know about: md5, sha1, kazaa, ed2k and tigertree. If you go to the bibrec page and hover over the P2P link you can see them. (or copy the link into an editor) But I still don't understand what good it will do you if you know the hash of the "original" file? -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
