Derives a CRC32 value from an input string
Usage:
crcString (object me, string text )
Parameters:
text (string) - the text that will be hashed into a CRC32 value
Returns:
(string) - CRC32 character string
Example:
-- generates a semi-unique 8 digit CRC value based on computer name and hard drive serial number
xtRose = xtra("Rosetta").new( )
strCompName = xtRose.sysComputerName( )
strHardDiskSerial = xtRose.sysDriveInfo( "C", 2 )
-- create CRC String based on unique system information
strUserKey = xtRose.crcString( strSerial & "add some random salt to prevent dictionary lookup" )
