@zxMarce I think that I've finally worked out how to post to Gambas. It's been years since I did it and the email address has changed. You can email me on joh...@gm... I've not tried the FIALKA (post war?). Lorenz is purely Gambas. It's modified from the original in that some characters are not available or difficult to use, as the original used a teleprinter whereas I'm using standard GUI constructs. Colossus calls a set of command line modules (written in Ada by a German guy, whose name escapes me and whose email address I've not found and who won a prize offered by Bletchley Park a few years ago): I have the sources for those modules and I used the gnat Ada compiler, installed using Synaptic on Ubuntu. I'm happy to provide all Gambas & Ada sources & Gambas 'binaries', together with sample messages including the one used by the German guy: both the original and my adapted one where I changed certain keyboard characters. I offered the Cypher stuff to the 2 Bletchley Park museums but they weren't interested. I did give them to the Computing History Museum in Cambridge a few years ago as I also got them working on a Raspberry Pi (of which they had a few) but I don't know if they used them: the guy I met there seemed to be preparing for a job interview and his attention span was short! |
