Hacx 1.0 hashes

Hello,

I added alternate Hacx 1.0 hashes. They were obtained from the original installer version, found here: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/73932-is-hacx-10-full-anywhere/?tab=comments#comment-1403436 (and I also obtained it from another source with the same hashes). If someone knows where the b9a93237 version originated from, let us know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.170.45.13 (talk)

The b9a93237 version comes from the exact same source that you cite. Xaser and I got a copy of the Hacx retail CD ISO from Nostromo and I installed it. This was challenging as the installer fails to run under DOSBox (complains about Hacx.9 being corrupted, although the specific file is probably irrelevant since it's likely just the file that was opened when it performed a checksum). While I don't recall what system I ran it on all those years ago, what I can say is that I can reproduce the file fine by installing via Windows 98SE under 86Box. Given the installer is apparently fragile, it seems plausible that corruption occurred. If anyone can reproduce the version that the anonymous contributor posted (MD5: 402ca45bb90520bfef0dec6baac5889e, SHA1: 52b5cd8ffef0fd4a33743e774a717774c63046ad, CRC32: 4f37c580), or really any other variation I would encourage reaching out to me for analysis.
