> What's CRC?

An error correction protocol. Its used in a lot of file transfer 
protocls, including Xmodem and Zmodem. It takes a chunk of data and 
encodes it into an 8, 16, or 32 bit (byte?) block and transmits the data. 
The receiving end checks to see if the signatures are the same, and if 
so, accepts them. Otherwise it rejects it and it is resent.
