  | It would contain hex similar to:
  | 7574986f3504ccfce662bd1b6810b506 *aspi32.xxx

 that looks like it would work with GNU `md5sum --check ‥';
 see the md5sum(1) man(1) pages for details.
 in any case, as Kevin said, that should be easy to
 manipulate into a form which `md5sum' can use.

cheers!
