Subject: Decrypto v3.0 -- a fast cryptoquip solver (FAT)
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.

absolutely NO CHARGES. For other distribution licenses, contact the author.
