Hi all

I am trying to translate some gcc code to gpc, and I have become a tad blearly-eyed with this bit:

" while(size--) crc =(crc << 8) ^ crctab[((crc >> 24) ^ *cp++) & 0xFF];

for(; length; length >>= 8) crc =(crc << 8) ^ crctab[((crc >> 24) ^ length) & 0xFF];

crc = ~crc & 0xFFFFFFFF; "

Can anyone make any sense of this? Thanks.

ps: I understand the shl and shr calls, and I think I have a good idea of what the rest is doing - but I would prefer not to guess (bette safe than sorry!).

Thanks.
