The upcoming "add spaces" functionality for AZdecrypt is turning out really well. It is a original implementation based on letter n-grams, so that the output is perhaps more in line with what the solver is "thinking".

There’s one layer which makes a quick guess about where the spaces should be which is about 80% to 90% accurate and then a small hill-climber takes care of the rest. It is not entirely perfect but I am very content with it and there’s plenty of room for improvement (better n-grams, higher n-grams etc).

Input (spaces are removed automatically):

When used in its "QB" language mode, FreeBASIC provides a high level of support for programs written for QuickBASIC. Many programs written for QuickBASIC will compile and run in this mode with no changes needed. However, for compilation in the FreeBASIC default language mode, most substantial programs will require changes.

Output:

Input:

Five days later Mary Ann Cotton informed Riley that Charles had died. Riley was suspicious and went to the village police and convinced the attending doctor to delay writing a death certificate until the circumstances could be investigated. Mary Ann not realizing that a death certificate had not been issued then went to the insurance office and discovered that no money would be paid out until a death certificate was forthcoming.

Fantastic! I love this feature!

Thanks. I thought I would not like or need this feature but it is hard to go back after a few days of using it.

What’s new?

– Spacing between words for English text is now added to the solutions but can be disabled through Options, Solvers, Add spaces to output: No. You can also add spaces to text via the Input window and then Format, Add spaces to plaintext.
– Solvers Substitution + polyphones [auto] and [user] have been merged into Substitution + polyphones. Using the solver will open up a new menu that includes all the old functionality and more plus a new Hafer shifts solver mode!
– In previous versions results were not output until the thread was completely finished and that resulted in a possible wait time on very long runs. That’s no longer the case.
– The solvers that use a additional hill-climber on top now update the Output window every second and the best result is now persistent between restarts.
– Re-enabled the 7-gram functionality. beijinghouse v6 7-grams download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lvh3Ih … sp=sharing (418 MB)
– Very noteworthy across-the-board improved solver efficiency.
– Size reduced beijinghouse v6 5 and 6-grams included.

Example output with the new word spacing (not perfect but pretty good):

As usual, thank you for your excellent quality work! I look forward to trying this new version out.

Thanks doranchak!

works well Jarlve.. i had a play with it yesterday and it is easier on the mind when looking for the needle in the haystack with the spacing mechanism.
we are out of lockdown after 7 months and Australia has now had no local covid case transmissions for a week.. we have it beat for the moment. so im going to get out and about a bit more. so less time on the computer..
cheers

Thanks for trying it out Mr lowe. Who knows? Is there even a needle in that haystack? :^)

Have fun outdoors!

Jarlve, I wasn’t able to find a transcription for Heriberto Seda’s cipher (he was the so-called "New York Zodiac") so I made one.

Picture of his cipher is here: viewtopic.php?p=41729#p41729

Here is my transcription:

ABCDCDABE
FGHCIJDKE
LMCNOCIPC
NJGNAQGRS
BGPIDAEQT
UEQEIHTVG
QPGQETGWQ
DAQWCT

Solves easily in AZDecrypt with a few ambiguous letters.
Maybe you can add it to the Ciphers folder.

Thanks doranchak for your transcription. How would you name this cipher, "New York Zodiac"? Will add.

Yes, I would call it "New York Zodiac cipher" or "Heriberto Seda cipher".

Mr.Jarlve
I believe that the program is still formidable, despite having already given its great final result with the break of the cipher, with the brilliant participation of the trio.(the program didn’t break the cipher, the three of you broke it, obviously, it was an important instrument)
I ask.
Will you continue the updates?
Is there anything on your mind about the remaining codes (13 and 32)?

Also, forgive me if I missed anything, is it possible to work on such codes, starting from the letters already derived from the 340 solution, assigning codes 13 and 32 the symbol values ​​(and also 408 values)?
I mean, the vigenere method, scytale, mathematical operations, ceasar cipher etc etc?

in more, thanks for the feat !!
I imagine that, for now, you are away from it all to rest your mind.
