Converting python to FileMaker

[DWolf]

This generates characters that look similar to what the python code does, but they change with each run and aren't the same.

I can't help you debug this because I don't know Filemaker's functions an language. Also an understanding of RFC 2104 may be necessary for this. Is there a Filemaker's forum somewhere?

For sure, the worst is translating one from another. I know FileMaker pretty well and want to convert more to python. None of this crypto stuff had been necessary until recently. And despite being generally versed on all it, the specific implementations can build brain cells, or demonstrate the total loss of all of them.
