Decrypto

by Ed Olson, eolson@mit.edu Shareware, $Pizza+Coke This program will allow you to solve cryptoquip puzzles often found in the games section in the newspaper. The solving program is not an interactive solver; it solves the cryptoquip by itself! The program is FAT, and should run on 68020 and better machines (and of course any PowerPC!). To wet your appetite, it takes an average of 10 seconds to solve a puzzle on my PowerMac 7500/100. Version 3.0 offers a much faster, more reliable (successful) algorithm than version 2.2. Versions for other platforms (PC, UNIX) are available by contacting the author.
