ENIGMA.LBR
[==========]
The ENIGMA cipher machine was used by the German armed forces during WWII.
The history of its interception, and the breaking of the code have become
legend, and a synopsis of that history will be found in the accompanying
.DOC file. In July 1981, an article authored by Marian Rejewski appeared
in "Annals of the History of Computing", a quarterly publication of AFIPS
(American Federation of Information Publishing Societies, Inc.). Published
with that article was a simulation program in BASIC language which illust-
rated the operation of the ENIGMA. The program was authored by C.Deavours
of the Math Dept., Kean College of NJ. Of course, that issue (vol 3, # 3)
was copyrighted by AFIPS. The original program was modified, and was later
translated to IBM/PC BASIC, by J.E.Eller, Va.Beach, VA. ENIGMA.EXE is the
result of that history. All rights are reserved. Permission to use the
original source material was granted by AFIPS, on condition that credit be
given to the source, and that copying and distribution would not be used
for direct commercial advantage. Therefore, this library of files, includ-
ing ENIGMA.EXE, ENIGMA.DOC, and READ_ME.1st, may be distributed ONLY AS-IS
without alteration or deletion, and may not be used in any commercial manner.
