MD5 for Win32 introduced the "right-click and hash" interface to calculate a message digest without having to open a separate program. digestIT 2003 took it further by adding multiple file support, integrated copying and saving, and support for the SHA-1 message digest algorithm.
Introduce digestIT 2004, taking digestIT 2003 one step further by adding integrated verification support right in the same easy-to-use interface.
