I was wondering what the actual processes that were used

Try www.google.com

Both algorithms are very well documented and researched.

Discussion found on the RSA site ... 
http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/faq/3-6-6.html

Quoting from that page, "Description and source code for the 
three algorithms can be found as Internet RFCs 1319-1321 ... ." 

Here is the RFC for MD5 ... 
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1321.txt

I have been trying to make a type of file verifying index 
for CSV files and came up with a system that multiplies the 
bytes in the file with their position in the file.  I had 
to make my own STRING adder to be sure it could handle what 
ever values it all added up tom though.

MD5 uses these logical functions: AND, OR, XOR, and NOT.  

Why?

Good luck,
Martin
