The following are details for the original files and .huff compressed versions. You will need to confirm that you decompressed the .huff files correctly. This should be fairly obvious simply by viewing the file contents. You should also check that your decompressed files have exactly the same number of bytes as the originals. You can get the size in bytes on Windows by right-clicking on the file and going to Properties. You can also see the sizes if you type "dir" at the command prompt in the same directory. File Sizes (bytes) ------------------ 0 empty.txt 7 empty.txt.huff 13,214 ics211.bmp 2,669 ics211.bmp.huff 13,214 image.bmp 3,052 image.bmp.huff 1,006 jabberwocky.txt 656 jabberwocky.txt.huff 335 mission 269 mission.huff 5 short.txt 9 short.txt.huff 48,929 sounds.mp3 49,021 sounds.mp3.huff 143 triangles.txt 66 triangles.txt.huff 1 zorro.txt 7 zorro.txt.huff If you want to be certain that your decompressed file is the same as the orginal, you can use either an md5 or sha1 hash. These are unique fingerprints produced from each file's contents. They will let you confirm both that the .huff files downloaded correctly and that your decompressed file contents are identical to the original files. You only need to run either md5 or sha1. You may find versions of these programs online, but both are available on uhunix using the commands md5sum and sha1sum. For example, the command md5sum short.txt.huff will print: a493c5cc75b749b126c396a657b1f1e6 short.txt.huff The command md5sum * will hash every file in the current directory.
