Actually MD5 hasn't been broken... yet. A close cousin to MD5 was broken,
not the actual MD5 as we know it. It's still safe to use MD5 for the time
being. However I would be on the look out for a replacement if and when one
becomes available. Sure there's SHA1, but of course a pair of digests to
compliment each other is prefered.

Once you have downloaded these files you can easily verify (in UNIX shell)
that this is indeed a collision for MD5:
$ cmp file1.dat file2.dat
file1.dat file2.dat differ: char 20, line 1
$ md5sum file1.dat
a4c0d35c95a63a805915367dcfe6b751 file1.dat
$ md5sum file2.dat
a4c0d35c95a63a805915367dcfe6b751 file2.dat
that's my 2c
p.s.
dosman ... mabey your relative winman uses M$ md5 ?:))
nhf man...
