       /ALGORITHM=option
       /ALGORITHM=XOR (default)

    Selects the algorithm used for file checksums. The default is the
    XOR algorithm for data within records. Options include:

    o  CRC - A CRC-32 algorithm for all bytes within the file
       (possible record structures are ignored); this algorithm is
       also known as AUTODIN II, Ethernet, or FDDI CRC.

    o  MD5 - The MD5 digest, as published by Ronald L. Rivest
       (RFC 1321), for all bytes within the file (possible record
       structures are ignored).

    o  SHA1 - A Secure Hash Algorithm for all bytes within the file
       (possible record structures are ignored). A 160-bit (20-byte)
       hash function designed by the National Security Agency (NSA).

    o  SHA256 - A Secure Hash Algorithm for all bytes within the file
       (possible record structures are ignored). A 256-bit (32-byte)
       hash function designed by the National Security Agency (NSA).

    o  XOR - An XOR algorithm for all data, according to the record
       structure of the file.
