Thanks for the reply! This is actually something I'm working on now,
only for sha-1. I was hoping to use call_external but after fighting
with that all day (xp+cygwin+student edition of idl....), I think
spawn is probably the easiest answer. Now to see what kind of
performance hit I take! =-)

I definitely understand about the prioritizing too - I'd like to do
it, but there are too many other things that also need to get done
first.
