I think he meant to say the "blitter". It was kind if revolutionary at the time when it came to transfering data/drawing lines/filling etc..Hence it could be said to "spew 2d graphics faster than anything going".....
Anyone know of a dictionary where you can search for words using regexp? It would certainly help if you f.ex are looking for a word with 11 letters where the 7th letter is a 't'.

I think this is a normal letter substitution chipher. With the difference that each plain text letter can be encrypted to 6 different letters (since he uses 66 different character sets). I seriously doubt it's any of those super-mega-ninja algorithms he used.. After all it's done in the early 1800.. I think that your word deduction meothod is pretty much the way to go. F.ex the letter B, !B and K stand by themselves in the text, so they are probaby either 'I' or 'A'. I pretty sure the B should be translated to 'I'. Just guessing though.
Given that letter substitition is beeing used, I think we can rule out that the words are written backwards. I base this in the fact that at the end of line 10 in the crypto is the word "RVV" (in small capitals).. This could probably translate to "see" or "all" or something like that.. If this was a word written backwards, that would mean that the word would start with two of the same letters.. And I don't know of any such word in english (or in any other language)
Interresting..switching to dvorak in windows is not any more difficult than changeing the keyboars setting (or did you mean the ecs/caps lock switch). Anyway, where can I find a keyboard with the dvorak layout???

you're right.. atleast eel would fit in.. That means it can't be ruled out that the words are written backwards. It's just quite unlikely.

Isn't it logical??
