P.S. the code requires one text box (text1), one label (label2) and one command button (command1).

' Name: CRC Codes

' Description:Creates a number that coresponds to a specific stri

'     ng. Allows you to check if the string has been modified. Usefull



'     for sensitive data. Hard to crack since user does not know how th

    '     e CRC code was created.

' By: Jan Nawara

'

'

' Inputs:When making a code requires a string and CRC_Make must b

'     e true.

When checking a code requires a string, CRC_Make must be False and the original CRC code.
'

' Returns:When making returns the CRC code, when checking returns

'     true if code matches string.

'

'Assumes:Assumes there are not NULL cahracters in the string.

'

'Side Effects:May have trouble with international systems. (Untes

'     ted)
