There is a program "md5sum" that comes with GNU textutils. It
will run on most Unix or Unix-like systems. I suspect that with
a fair amount of effort it could be made to run on RT11, compiled
with DECUS C, but I haven't really looked at that..

When you run mda5sum on a file it produces a 32-hex-digit "message digest".
This should match the one that you downloaded from the original source.
