Sirs,

I apologise for having to ask but can you tell me exactly what part of a JDK
1.1 JAR manifest file entry is used in order to create the digest values in the
signature file?

I can assure you that I have spent weeks browsing the web and tried numerous
permutation of input but the answer elludes me. I even spent some duke dollars
raising a question under security but to no avail.

Using JDK 1.1 I can reproduce the digest values in the manifest file and with
JDK 1.2 I have no problem with the signature files either but since I'm using
symantec cafe I am pretty much restricted to a 1.1 solution.

My credibility at work is coming under attack - I recommended Java for this
project you see!

With regards,
Noel (NoelAFJones)
