indy,

I noticed that 3.1.a and 3.2.a calculated the same UUHash, but 3.2.a was WAY slower.

So, now that you confirmed that 3.2.a is 'merely' a version designed for 'backwards compatibility' with Win98, I'll stick to 3.1.a when I'm using Win2K.

If you're bored you can add some kind of Windows version check to sig2dat, so that you use the fast method when possible and otherwise use the slow method. There's an API function to retrieve the Windows version. If you need details on this let me know.

Thanks,
Stoepsel
