VMs: RE: Why is the VMS so hard?

["John Grove" <John@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sorry Jeff, but I still don't get why you think this is even close
to a VMS style of text. It does not follow the VMS structure at all. You've
been able to limit the character output to ch, o, r, y, a, series of i's, c,
d, k, t, m, sh, e, and l > but the results don't look like Voynichese at
all.

Take rysyaimmy for example - no where could a double m exist in the VMS
because
M's are normally end of line characters only... Doublets are extremely rare
in
the VMS. I don't count i's and e's as doublets because I do believe they are
related
to neighbouring characters and aren't standalone (but that is a personal
bias of course).

I also don't see any cth or ckh's in your output... and how about those
weirdo's in
the VMS like ckhhy (it's not a doublet - but there are two 'h' type endings
attached to
one another). And how to you get an htals (h is always part of a ch, sh, or
cth, ckh - and
is not a standalone character).

Well take a look at the encrytion below. The tables are built from the input
text automatically as you go. If I had wanted to I could have made it more
voynicheselike but why??

The text 'table as it' at the bottom of the second bit IS ENCIPHERED. That's
how hard it is. And the encoder can modify at WILL. There are two extra
characters per line/paragraph etc. Now you tell me how long you think it
would take to crack that. The plain text is above each line. Happy hunting!
And apart from the first two letters which are initiators it is letter for
letter.

  this is a piece of test text used to determine whether or not my
method can be used to replicate the encipherment of the voynich
manuscript.

  as i build the table the highest frequencies appear to be grouping
to the top left of the table as it is in the manuscript.
