'''D:CHECK''' (for disk) and '''C:CHECK''' (for cassette tape) by Istvan Mohos and Tom Hudson are type-in checker programs for the Atari used by ANALOG Computing magazine. They were succeeded by [[Unicheck]]

'''ST-Check''' by Clayton Walnum is direct translation of D:Check II for the 520ST.

Each character in a line is summed up and undergoes module division leaving a three-digit number that is the checksum. It also includes a group checksum every 15 lines.

A new algorithm was introduced in D:Check II (Issue 10) to better handle missing lines or lines with the wrong number of characters.

The codes may be compatible with Antic's [[TYPO (Type Your Program Once)]]
