DescriptionPerforce support would like a way to tell whether the person they're talking to has modified the P4DTI code in some way to make it different from the official distribution.
AnalysisProvide a checksum of all the P4DTI files that we don't tell the user to modify. A cryptographically strong checksum (like MD5) would be a nice extra.
