Ascend *does* supply a checksum of each release image on the FTP site.
the value provided is the 16-bit CRC checksum calculated using the
UNIX "sum" or "cksum" program.  A 16-bit CRC is quite sufficient to
detect transmission errors of a one megabyte file.

Versions of "sum" are available for MS-DOS, MS-WIN, and MAC systems.
