::: Right or wrong, the REXX version does encrypt/decrypt the above two messages correctly.   It's not 100% successful in handling all cases that contain replicated characters however.   As to the specs, yes, I agree, it's rather fuzzy, especially about the part that states "... dropping any extra "X"es, or "Q"s that do not make sense in the final message...     That's pretty hard to do problematicallyprogrammatically. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 19:22, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
