The world's fastest hashing application, just got faster! Welcome to checksum, a blisteringly fast, no-nonsense file hashing application for Windows, a program that generates and verifies SHA1 and MD5 hashes; aka. "MD5 Sums", or "digital fingerprints"; of a file, a folder, or recursively, even through an entire disk or volume, does it extremely quickly, intelligently, and without fuss. Many people strongly believe it to be the best hashing utility on planet Earth. Did I say fast? Available for 64 bit or 32 bit Windows (a basic Linux version is also included). Why? In the decade before checksum, I must have installed and uninstalled dozens, perhaps hundreds of Windows MD5 hashing utilities, and overwhelmingly they leave me muttering "brain-dead POS!

" No more! What is it for, exactly? Peace of mind! 100% Portable.. Features.. A4 paper format/International paper sizes. By Markus Kuhn Standard paper sizes like ISO A4 are widely used all over the world today. This text explains the ISO 216 paper size system and the ideas behind its design. The ISO paper size concept In the ISO paper size system, the height-to-width ratio of all pages is the square root of two (1.4142 : 1). The ISO paper sizes are based on the metric system. ISO 216 defines the A series of paper sizes based on these simple principles: The height divided by the width of all formats is the square root of two (1.4142).

For applications where the ISO A series does not provide an adequate format, the B series has been introduced to cover a wider range of paper sizes. The width and height of a B format are the geometric mean between those of the A and the next larger A(−1) format. Note: The geometric mean of two numbers and is the square root of their product, ()1/2, whereas their arithmetic mean is half their sum, (+)/2.

Application examples Example 1: Example 2: Further details Envelope formats. Dimensions Of Metric Paper Sizes. A Paper Sizes - Quick Lookup Select the standard paper size from the 'Size' selector and the unit from the 'Unit' selector - the dimensions will be shown in the dimensions box. The dimensions of the A series paper sizes, as defined by the ISO 216 standard, are given in the table to the right of the diagram in both millimetres and inches (cm measurements can be obtained by dividing mm value by 10).

The A Series paper size chart, below left, gives a visual representation of how the sizes relate to each other - for example A5 is half of A4 size paper and A2 is half of A1 size paper.

Table of Paper Sizes From 4A0 to A10 To obtain paper sizes in centimetres, convert mm values to cm by dividing by 10 and in feet by dividing inch values by 12. 4A0 & 2A0 - The DIN 476 Oversize Formats The paper sizes bigger than A0, 4A0 & 2A0, aren't formally defined by ISO 216 but are commonly used for oversized paper.
