[EasilyFound]

I think I found out the answer. It seems to happen only with files created a while ago, and not with shn files created now with TLH. Seems that the md5 checksum file created by TLH has the following information in the beginning of the file:

"; wholefile md5 checksum file generated by Trader's Little Helper
; generated on March 23, 2009, at 6:57 pm"

followed by a blank line before you get to the data for the shn file (I don't know the technical name).

md5 checksum files created with some other program do not necessarily have the same information at the top. I guess TLH is programmed to look for that information, and if it doesn't find it, assumes that the file is corrupted or truncated.

When I tried to verify an md5 checksum in mkwACT, I got an error message that the md5 contains checksums for two files that are missing. I'm assuming it is referring to the two lines above. If I delete them from the md5 file, and then verify in mkwACT, it will verify w/out an error message?

Does that make sense? Got to run and make dinner for my kids. Will check back later.
