Answer: FING ERGI BBER IS (FINGER GIBBERIS?) you forgot the H... Your sub has been sunk... Sorry...

Please re-insert your floppy, and press CTRL - ALT - DELETE :ohmy:

Okay so it must be the versions.

I can decode yours, but because of my version, and yours you can't decode anything from me.

At least I know it works, and thanks again con20or for doing this.

In WW2, the German military encoded communications using a machine called Enigma. It had multiple rotor and pin settings. The Germans thought that the code could never be broken. British code breakers managed to figure out how the code was constructed and reverse engineered their own version of the machine. When the Royal Navy captured an authentic German Enigma from a Kreigsmarine weather ship, it was found the the British version was identical except for a single transposition that did not affect the output. It was one of the most amazing intellectual feats of the entire war.

There are now software apps that simulate the operation of an Enigma machine.

I think, in fact it was Polish slave factory workers where the machines were built, who made a perfect wooden mock up and sent it out via diplomatic channels. British boffins then built a working replica. So its the heroic Poles whose names are unrecorded by history that we should be grateful to.
