- 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
