TITLE The Arbitrary Text Code

<p>There was a book a while back called <a
href="http://www.nmsr.org/biblecod.htm"><i>The Bible Code</i></a>
which purported to find hidden messages in the Old Testament. My 1999
program, The Arbitrary Text Code, brings the excitement of <i>The
Bible Code</i> to whatever large chunk of text you happen to have
lying around. It works, but not very well, and it's slow. I hereby
release the code into the public domain, for all the good that will do
you.

<ul>

<li><a href="codify"><tt>codify</tt></a> turns a piece of text into an
unbroken string of capital letters.</a>

<li><a href="tatc"><tt>tatc</tt></a> finds any substring in that long
string of capital letters, even if the substring isn't there to begin with.

</ul>
