A little rant on forum etiquette...

1.) If you wanted this to go to Adron, you should have sent him a private message.  If you wanted other people to reply to your question, a more descriptive title, such as "Accuracy of NBBot Checksum functions" might have been more appropriate.

2.) Gosu -- this might be a bit of a suprise to you, but you don't have to reply to *every* thread.  You don't contribute much at all to the realm of original knowledge.  To suggest that he "test" the functions would be to suggest that he compile a list of all possible input and output values and run them through the function.  Impractical, I might say.  And warzone's thread -- your blinding revelation of "buy a book" (where one or two people had already suggested it) is the same way.  Perhaps suggesting a specific book would have been helpful, but what you said was just a way to get your name on the post.

And I'm spent.

is this a wasted post? just like wasted bandwidth to brighten the day!

It is only wasted if you don't learn from it that many forum regulars consider your posts to be drivel.

The two functions in NBBot called UDPChecksum() and SubChecksum(), are they proven to work?

As far as I know, they work.  They've been around for years, so they must be doing something right.

Whoever asked for the function -- this can be gotten from the NBBot source code, which can be found at, among other places, at warz' site --> http://tks.slacktech.com Ok, the actual page is Here if you don't want to make the 2 clicks to find it (source, then cpp).
