| CRC is Cyclic Redundency check, its used to check the integrity of a
file... usualy used when files are to be transfered over network.
u may search google for a sample there r very good samples available.

A CRC (cyclic redundancy check) is a kind of checksum or a measure of =
integrity or uniqueness, and there are dozens of variations on the basic =
idea. Various flavors of CRC are suited to different tasks. In general, =
the more 'bits' in a CRC the more reliable it is as a gauge of =
integrity, but different situations tend to produce different sorts of =
errors.=20
You can think of a CRC as a computation that 'summarizes' a file or a =
communications packet, etc. If two people compute the same CRC from the =
same file or stream at different times, they can be relatively sure that =
there were no errors or changes.
A CRC is known by its 'generating polynomial'. These days there is a =
standard of sorts in CRC32, which has proven to be pretty robust for =
many different uses, with minor variations. It shows up in ZIP files, =
ethernet packets, etc.

It's the Communication and Research Centre in Canada. They do a lot of work
on computer and sattelite communications. Unless of course you mean
something else, the Convention on the Right of a Child perhaps, which was
adopted by the United Nations in General Assembly Resolution number 44/25.
Or perhaps you mean CRC Industries. They manufacture lots of different
chemical sprays, including a special contact cleaner for use on special
keyboards and general computer cable connectors.

G'Day Jack,
Some have already answered the question, but something else which might
be helpful to you is this web site (Mike Williams' dry sarcasm twigged
my memory):
http://www.acronymfinder.com/
You can enter acronyms and it tells you what they are and can search for
descriptions etc. Very useful.
See ya!
