You could, in the md5check code, simply do:
source /usr/local/lib/tcllib1.7/md5/md5.tcl
instead of
package require md5
However, you don't even need md5check, it's just convenient, because
it makes sure what's been written to the floppy is ok. I have had so
many bad floppies when working with this code that it's not funny:-(

Could be. You can attach a serial cable at 38400 to see what error
message it's giving you, if any.
