Hi Betov,

That's not really what I wanted to hear! :(

I'll definately look into the tool you mentioned.

I find it strange, with all the research into hashing and the various algo's
that someone hasn't published a list, that lists each algo and what they (in
there opinion) are suited for... (eg speed, collision potientials within
certain domains, etc). If someone knows of a list, I would be highly
interested in seeing.

PS. I know hashing isn't really about asm, but it seems more on-topic than
the usual stuff that gets discussed here. :P I also was hoping to get an
insight from the guys that write the assemblers we all so dearly love to
use, and what they did to overcome the normal issues that revolve around
hashing symbols. ;)
