Hi Tim,
You are the third person to make this very sensible suggestion. Once we
actually release the software we will be sure to do this! The limiting
step at the moment is that many small changes are going in (you will
have noticed the absence of a release announcement) which of course
change the checksums.
It is not "York" but the CCP4 core team at Daresbury who will need to do
this, and we will.
Thanks & best wishes,
Graeme

A fast and simple method to check whether the downloaded file is corrupt
is to calculate checksums, e.g. md5 or sha - corresponding programs
should be available on most Unix/ Linux systems. It depends, however, on
York calculating the checksum and putting it next to the actual archive
for downloading.
