The file you are now reading is 0103indx.txt. It lists and describes each file in this directory. The file ptaxstat.bas contains some digraph evaluation routines described in the May/June 2001 Computer Column. Ptaxstat.bas uses these routines to decide whether an unknown cipher is likely to be a Portax cipher. Comment added 10/29/01: The DiAvg() routine contained a bug as described in the Nov/Dec 2001 issue of The Cryptogram. Even though that bug has no effect on PtaxStat, the PtaxStat file has been updated with the corrected routine. . The file 01issu03.zip contains the files in this directory. The .zip was created under MS-DOS and its files are in DOS ascii text format.
