I haven't found any pattern to the code, but I assume there must be some pattern. Can you find it? I got the code off a tape that I knew the contents of. Unfortunately the tape didn't use all the letters. It just makes it a little more interesting, right? The numbers are in octal. I don't know know if I've got the most significant bit in the right place or not, but that won't destroy any pattern. A 30 N 06 0 55 If I get any results, I'll post them.
