A new version of WinROMIdent has been in development and it features many good things and enhancements compared to the old version or the original DOS version.
It works with older OSes like Windows 98 SE, reads the latest MAME databases and is very quick and easy to work with - highly recommended!
Features checksum calculations in word size (like in your typical (E)PROM programmer software) and in Fluke 9xx0 format.

Here are more detailed specifications (but have a look at the website for more information):
WinROMIdent takes your ROM file dumps, calculates the CRC, and scans the database(s) for a match.
It can identify mystery ROMs, and you can also detect bad ROMs (if they appear as "not found" when scanned).
How does WinROMIdent differ from ROMIdent?
