md5(sum) for NS ?

I've looked around in some of the big software archives, and don't seem to see anything to do checksums on files.

Is there an md5sum for NS ?  Or some other way in the base OS to checksum files ?

You can get mmd5sum from here http://next.haleblian.com/package/next/

As mentioned in this thread (https://www.nextcomputers.org/forums/index.php?topic=5643) the default app is /usr/etc/sum32 in case you are trying to build scripts for default installs.

EDIT: Corrected thread url to https://www.nextcomputers.org/forums/index.php?topic=5643 as pointed out by user @wmlive

Apparently, "this thread" resolves to the current thread "topic=5902" itself.

Nonetheless, it served its purpose and incentivated searching the forum for /usr/etc/sum32.  ;)

Forum search revealed that topic=5643 (https://www.nextcomputers.org/forums/index.php?topic=5643) was most probably intended to be provided for "this thread".

Thanks for this valuable information!

Thanks for pointing this out and this has been corrected, nothing worse than a non working link when you are trying to find information  :'( .

But yeah as per that thread I did create some scripts that used sum32 to check the file was the original one, and then used dd and echo to create patches as those three utilities are offered by default in NS3.3 and OS4.2 and don't require the developer package to be installed.
