Jon,

Many thanks, that is very cool! I was enthralled by crypto in my teens. The central repository librarians for the state of Arkansas got me a used copy of "Secret and Urgent" which I coveted because it had frequency tables in the back (including trigrams! ;-)

Have Fun!

My interest in codes started when I was in high school, even wrote an article for the local paper.

Your article was awesome, very clear descriptions, many useful photos and insights.

Thank you!
