Comment:

 Hrm, the only difference that seems to make is that it puts a "*" by the
 filename:

 $ sha1sum Fedora-9-Nathan-i686.iso
 3a505e21181f41d749877266ab9948af88792497  Fedora-9-Nathan-i686.iso

 $ sha1sum -b Fedora-9-Nathan-i686.iso
 3a505e21181f41d749877266ab9948af88792497 *Fedora-9-Nathan-i686.iso

 Is that really the only difference?  Why in gods name is the windows
 sha1sum library using the text around the name of the file to determine
 how to open, that shoudl be done by looking at the file itself and
 figuring out what it is.

 I'm not really inclined to change this, I'd file a bug against the windows
 sha1sum software.
