32--  This package provides routines for computing a commonly used checksum
33--  called CRC-32. This is a checksum based on treating the binary data
34--  as a polynomial over a binary field, and the exact specifications of
35--  the CRC-32 algorithm are as follows:
36--
37--     Name   : "CRC-32"
38--     Width  : 32
39--     Poly   : 04C11DB7
40--     Init   : FFFFFFFF
41--     RefIn  : True
42--     RefOut : True
43--     XorOut : FFFFFFFF
44--     Check  : CBF43926
45--
46--  Note that this is the algorithm used by PKZip, Ethernet and FDDI.
