Re: [Rails-devel] Rails 2.0 Release Candidate 1 (not) available until tomorrow

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Sorry, Dave, I meant that Windows OS does not have a "built-in" command 
or tool by default. I assumed that there are third-party tools.
And "... at least to my knowledge" should indicate that I had not run an 
update on my knowledge by google... :-)

In any case you could always fall back to cygwin and use *nix md5sum. ;-)

In fact a stackoverflow search showed that for newer Windows OS 
(whatever newer means here) I was wrong, there is a on-board tool named 
CertUtil.

See second answer here:
