<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>I need a function to get a hash
value from a string about 100 or so characters long, ideally giving
something only 10-20 characters max - either a string or
number.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>Any recomendations?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>Used a simple roll-my own up to
now, but it does not work well for more than about 32 characters - well
I think it might possibly give duplicates.</FONT></DIV>
