    <p>Any easy-to-use hash function in Win32 to hash an ASCII string?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I'm looking for a simple hash function in Windows (preferable <code>kernel32.dll</code> or some other widely used DLL) to hash ASCII strings into, say, <code>DWORD</code>'s?</p>
  
  <p>The function should be called from either C/C++ or x86 assebmly.</p>
  
  <p>I've been Googling around, but there doesn't seem to be any functions that fit into my needs?</p>
  
  <p>Any recommendations?</p>
