Message: [QUOTE="NevilleDNZ, post: 3945487"] Deliberately? LOL!! check out this quote from "Decrypted Secrets: Methods and Maxims of Cryptology" By Friedrich Ludwig Bauer: [URL]http://books.google.com/books?id=s9y9p2jP6pQC&q=ALGOL+68[/URL] AND this was assuming just one message was hidden in the report. (The report was sponsored by the UN in the middle of the cold war ;-) However I - for one - have not even been able to find the suspect message (encrypted with "italic full stops") in the "Revised Report on the Algorithmic Language ALGOL 68": * [URL]http://books.google.com.au/books?id=vyYuAAAAIAAJ&q=eeyore[/URL] I suspect the ALGOL 68 report was only ever intended to be read by "Language Lawyers". But was in the "additional reading" list of some Professors simply to torment the faster students. c.f. [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Wijngaarden_grammar[/URL] The classic structured (and humane) Algol68 manual to put under ones pillow would be "Informal introduction to ALGOL 68" By C. H. Lindsey & S. G. van der Meulen: * [URL]http://books.google.com.au/books?id=3h8sAAAAIAAJ&q=par--[/URL] enjoy Neville Dempsey [/QUOTE]
