No problems. I ran through the testing procedure, and it works pretty well. (And is a lot of fun, too!) But: -- When I try to complete a decryption by running the ciphertext through zeecode, it gets through a few lines and then exits. No core, it just exits. -- The pwords tool does not seem to work very well. To test it, I made a words file for Usenet headers by taking an actual Usenet article, deleting everything but the headers, and inserting linebreaks at the wordbreaks. Then I encrypted that same article, and tried pwords on it. It should have decrypted the whole block, but it only found one or two words. Any clues? Has anyone else run across these problems? --- Jef Jef Poskanzer unisoft!jef@ucbvax.Berkeley.Edu ...ucbvax!unisoft!jef "What we've got here is a failure to communicate."
