Re: VMs: VBScript for finding repeating strings



Since my script has been greeted by an enthousiastic silence, I've made some
graphic pictures to demonstrate the output. Server permitting, it should be
here:
http://uair01.xs4all.nl/Voynich/String_Analysis/Repeated_strings.html

Now, are you impressed or not? I myself am still quite skeptical, and I
don't know whether I'm seeing signal or noise.

Since this is the first time I try something with the VMS, I have a newbie
question: What is the right transcription to feed to the script? EVT17? And
where do I find it? Stolfi's site?

Not entirely true :-) It eats it's way through a 22kB text in under 2,5
hours. And it's just a slow interpreted language. Now how much bigger is the
Voynich transcription? If I rewrite in C it should run at lightning speed.
