Verifile is a small freeware utility that calculates a checksum and a CRC32 on both the data and resource forks of any file that's dropped on it. This is useful if you want to compare two files that are not on the same machine without having to copy them over a network or modem connection.

If the hexadecimal numbers displayed by Verifile match, chances are that the two files are equal; Verifile automatically compares these numbers for the last two files that were checked and tells you if they match or not.

Verifile also displays the elapsed time to measure processor and disk performance.
The PowerPC code runs a lot faster than the 68K code if the file to verify is on a RAM disk, while the speed improvement is smaller on slower media.
