How is an add-on's CRC determined?

[Homfrog]

Like the title says, how does an add-on get its specific CRC number?

I'm not an expert in Torque, so someone more experienced, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the game assigns an add-on a CRC when it's first run in the game.

Again, correct me if I'm wrong.

It is a checksum of the file data.  Specifically, it uses the CRC function that is built into the torque resource manager.  I don't know if it complies with any standard.
