Re: VMs: Proposed method

["Jeff" <jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is correct for the VMS as found. When applying different decipherment
attempts the method would become more useful as the results of these
attempts can be analysed for matches with the language curves. The attempts
could be abbreviations substitutions, table lookups etc. The calculated
curve should give some indication of the language profile.
