NeoOffice.org provides MD5 checksums for NeoOffice.

If you wish to verify the checksum, perform the following steps:

1. Open the /Applications/Utilites/Terminal application
2. Execute the following command in the Terminal window:
   md5 /absolute/path/to/a/file

   You can compose the above command by typing md5 followed by a space, and then drag the .dmg file from the Desktop to the Terminal window; this will automatically insert the full path to the file.

3. Visually compare the output of the command to the MD5 checksum listed for the same file on the NeoWiki page

As an alternative, you can also use a GUI application like Checksum or MD5 to determine the checksum of a file instead of using the Terminal commands.
