With the new tables I get:

___esta_
dcholday

_i_cho_._ici.__lla.__ci.nici._ad_hi.ni_e._s.__.__e_.oei
kcheeos.shey.paiin.chey.shey.qokeey.shdy.ol.ot.otal.sar

Here are three example lines from my sample with decryption above and EVA
below.

_ie_.iocci.damalla.__co.i_comallio.__ici.nic.ostala.l
shoy.ckhey.kodaiin.cphy.cphodaiils.cthey.she.oldain.d!

__nala.miulla._a_.n._ies.__mal._d_i.esoichi.nallite
kydain.shaiin.qoy.s.shol.fodan.yksh.olsheey.daiildy

_a_costir.eiemalla._a_a_el._o__s.__a_es._a__.__s_r_
pcheoldom.shodaiin.qopchor.qopol.opchol.qoty.otolom

The very first line of the VMS becomes

___on_.de__.i_._della.mies.oiele.i_i____._.dal.pieste
fachys.ykal.ar.ataiin.shol.shory.cth!res.y.kor.sholdy



I find with this method that the VMS spaces are spurious. Also note that I
am not guaranteeing that all consonants or vowels are in the right place,
just that the place they hold is where a consonant or vowel should be
respectively. Just ignore the fact that my method appears in lowercase!!!! I
am doing it by hand and not with a program. Check Seths wicki for info on
the tables. Here's the link

To avoid confusion here are the new tables with underscores marking unknown
chars instead of lowercase chars.

The letters marking EVA are the top row in each table, the letter
substitutions are the second row in each table. The character in the left
column is the preceding EVA char in the VMS.

Try these tables Larry. Sorry about the mix up. Make sure they are viewed in
a fixed pitch font :-) other wise who knows where a letter might end up!!
