;;; Commentary:
;;
;;; Quick Start:
;;
;; To decipher a message, type or load it into a buffer and type
;; `M-x decipher'. This will format the buffer and place it into
;; Decipher mode. You can save your work to a file with the normal
;; Emacs save commands; when you reload the file it will automatically
;; enter Decipher mode.
;;
;; I'm not going to discuss how to go about breaking a cipher; try
;; your local library for a book on cryptanalysis. One book you might
;; find is:
;; Cryptanalysis: A study of ciphers and their solution
;; Helen Fouche Gaines
;; ISBN 0-486-20097-3
;; This package is designed to help you crack simple substitution
;; ciphers where one letter stands for another. It works for ciphers
;; with or without word divisions. (You must set the variable
;; decipher-ignore-spaces for ciphers without word divisions.)
;;
;; First, some quick definitions:
;; ciphertext The encrypted message (what you start with)
;; plaintext The decrypted message (what you are trying to get)
;;
;; Decipher mode displays ciphertext in uppercase and plaintext in
;; lowercase. You must enter the plaintext in lowercase; uppercase
;; letters are interpreted as commands. The ciphertext may be entered
;; in mixed case; `M-x decipher' will convert it to uppercase.
;;
;; Decipher mode depends on special characters in the first column of
;; each line. The command `M-x decipher' inserts these characters for
;; you. The characters and their meanings are:
;; ( The plaintext & ciphertext alphabets on the first line
;; ) The ciphertext & plaintext alphabets on the second line
;; : A line of ciphertext (with plaintext below)
;; > A line of plaintext (with ciphertext above)
;; % A comment
;; Each line in the buffer MUST begin with one of these characters (or
;; be left blank). In addition, comments beginning with `%!' are reserved
;; for checkpoints; see decipher-make-checkpoint & decipher-restore-checkpoint
;; for more information.
;;
;; While the cipher message may contain digits or punctuation, Decipher
;; mode will ignore these characters.
;;
;; The buffer is made read-only so it can't be modified by normal
;; Emacs commands.
;;
;; Decipher supports Font Lock mode. To use it, you can also add
;; (add-hook 'decipher-mode-hook #'turn-on-font-lock)
;; See the variable `decipher-font-lock-keywords' if you want to customize
;; the faces used. I'd like to thank Simon Marshall for his help in making
;; Decipher work well with Font Lock.
;;; Things To Do:
;;
;; Email me if you have any suggestions or would like to help.
;; But be aware that I work on Decipher only sporadically.
