Get gnu textutils from ftp:prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu and build yer own.

If you're just looking for a way to generate an MD5 checksum, the easy
way is to use perl. This example handles sha1 and md5.

Obtain two additional perl modules, available from
http://www.cpan.org/
Digest-MD5-2.13.tar.gz
Digest-SHA1-2.00.tar.gz
Install each module:
unzip, untar into self-named directory
cd Digest-MD5-2.13 or Digest-SHA1-2.00
>perl Makefile.PL
>make
>make test
>make install
Use the following script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# generates cryptographic checksums using two algorithms
#
use Digest::MD5;
use Digest::SHA1;
my $file = shift;
open(FILE, $file) or die "Can't open '$file': $!";
binmode(FILE);
$md5 = Digest::MD5->new;
$sha1 = Digest::SHA1->new;
while (<FILE>) {
$md5->add($_);
$sha1->add($_);
}
close(FILE);
print $md5->hexdigest," ","$file"," ","MD5\n";
print $sha1->hexdigest," ","$file"," ","SHA1\n";

Compile it yourself, from source. It's a very simple program. The same
binary will work on both 5.0A and 5.1; just compile it on the former.
