  14. Hi,
  15.     does anyone know if it is possible to obtain a complete version of the
  16. German ENIGMA machine in software? I know that crypt(3) uses a two rotor
  17. system (a trivialized ENIGMA machine) and I can get source code. I could
  18. probably hack the code together from a mathematical description of the 
  19. machine's workings. But heck, why reinvent the wheel :-)
  20.  
  21. Replies by email preferable.

  23. Thanks in advance,
  24.     Glenn
