Hi all,
a week or two ago a there was a post saying that it would be
difficult
to generate VMS text using a an algorithm. I brought together
some thoughts that I had recently and now have a (not quite perfect yet)
program that will generate any amount of VMS style text. Here is the output of
the program when generating 15 lines of text:

Done
I will be happy to post the code on the list or email it privately if
anyone is interested. It is written in Unibasic, the programming language that
comes as part of the Unidata RDBMS and could be converted to
another
language quite easily, program length is 94 lines.
I have yet to run it through Monkey but I am fairly confident, based on a
visual inpection, that this will show that the text has VMS like
entropy.
Any comments and suggestions will be gratefully received.
