Hi Simon,

Please pardon the cross-posting and the way-laying of your attention but there is a matter of some importance here in sci crypt that you might be prepared to help by acting as a trusted-third-party. 

It is a matter of creating and posting a Challenge Test Sample as follows:-

You would be required at your convenience to download and run this program as follows:-

1) Go to,

 adacrypt.co.uk 

and, 

2) Download the software called "ShuttlePads Cipher" from the title box displayed there.
3)Download  the compiler called Ada-95 Compiler Gnat 311.p (you might ignore this if you think so.)

Use the software as follows,
4) Edit the parameters of KEY_Pad_1 (Highly visible) to something different to what you find in the downloaded program.
5) Run the program to encrypt any passage pf your choice.
6) Post the ensuing ciphertext string either in sci crypt or in comp.lang.ada 

*The test piece should be fairly substantial at say circa 1000 characters.

I'm sure I speak for many when I say this would be greatly appreciated in sci crypt if you can find the time to do this as a service to the readers here.

Yours truly,

adacrypt - Austin O'Byrne
