             output of this algorithm is an ASCII decimal-digit string
             representing the 16-bit checksum, which is the first word of
             the output of the UNIX ``sum'' command.

             The output of this algorithm is an ASCII digit string
             representing the 32-bit CRC, which is the first word of the
             output of the UNIX ``cksum'' command.
