They are different programs with different purposes, so there's
not much point in comparing them. For example, SCOS2 was designed
to encrypt *only* printable ASCII, a restriction that in the
quest for internationalisation your program completely
overlooks... and that's fine, because they are different programs
with different purposes. Your program also adds a layer of
difficulty to ciphertext-only attacks, whereas SCOS2 was designed
to be easy to attack. And that too is fine; they are different
programs with different purposes.

Well, their purposes should be the same, posting encoded messages to Usenet. :-)

That's not an answer to the question.

Mind your own business.

This is a public discussion in a public newsgroup, so it's as
much his business as it is yours or mine.

And he's right - you posted an evasion instead of an answer. If
you want to be taken seriously, feigning stupidity is not in your
best interests.
