sum
     
        1.  in domain theory, the sum a + b of two domains
        contains all elements of both domains, modified to indicate
        which part of the union they come from, plus a new bottom
        element.  there are two constructor functions associated with
        the sum:
     
        	ina : a -> a+b       inb : b -> a+b
        	inaa = 0,a	     inbb = 1,b
     
        and a disassembly operation:
     
        	case d of isax -> e1; isbx -> e2
     
        this can be generalised to arbitrary numbers of domains.
     
        see also smash sum, disjoint union.
     
        2.  a unix utility to calculate a 16-bit checksum of
        the data in a file.  it also displays the size of the file,
        either in kilobytes or in 512-byte blocks.  the checksum may
        differ on machines with 16-bit and 32-bit ints.
