I'm not sure, but it's easy enough to script. See below the signature.
If you don't have /bin/ksh, change the first line to #!/bin/sh.
You definitely need either the Linux compatibility stuff or a decent
version of ncurses installed for this to work. The basic version of
tput (/usr/bin/tput) will not do the trick.

Agreed. That's why I always install the GNU coreutils package, which
includes the "md5sum" program.
