Golly, it sounds like its on par with Arnold Arnold, trisection, Fermat Last Th. proofs, and used swimming pool salespersons. :-) > If this is a joke, then it ought to be here, not in net.general > where too many people may take it seriously and devote their time > and computer time to trying to unravel it. I don't think the function of net.crypt is to prevent people from throwing CPU cycles down /dev/null. If it is a joke (and it sounds like it) then it should be IGNORED. > ...

Why don't you post it to net.numerology instead? :-) See net.physics archives for a LONG and OVERDRAWN discussion on obtaining patterns from random data. This has the sound of "if you have 32 apes pound keyboards long enough..." with a new twist, "... and then run them through massive awk scripts you can print the entire UNIX v6 kernel source". (Maybe thats how Sys V.2 was formed?) Anyway I have already spent far more time than it has been worth in responding to the "EPS TAPES", except for perhaps the cheep pot shot at Arnold Arnold and Sys V.2. chongo <> /\../\ -- "Don't blame me, I voted for Mondale!"
