Here's what I just tried: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FreeB md5 httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz > thing1 ; echo 466c63bb71b710d20a5c353df8c1a19c > thing2 ; echo difference is `diff thing1 thing2` ; rm thing1 thing2 difference is 1c1 < MD5 (httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz) = 466c63bb71b710d20a5c353df8c1a19c --- > 466c63bb71b710d20a5c353df8c1a19c FreeB md5 httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz > thing1 ; echo 466c63bb71b710d20a5c353df8c1a19c > thing2 FreeB more thing1 MD5 (httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz) = 466c63bb71b710d20a5c353df8c1a19c FreeB ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Seems the problem here is that the md5 cmd's output is not simply the result string but a description of the cmd together with the result.
