i didn't choose the correct word for the screenshot. but i hope you get the idea. there are many examples of "kerning."
incredibly, this is done by "figlet." the famous program that does "word banners".

some "black magic" in c programming. was required to make it possible.
it was kind of necessary. before it was possible to have a "terminal" screen. or a ms-dos-like screen. of more than 80 characters per line. so it was great to have one lengthy word fit in one line. usually somebody's nickname on chat or something like that.

Ok I have fixed up The Crypt:
1. You can now paste the encrypted message anywhere because along with going to the label it also goes into the _Clipboard, so you can paste right into the Decode text box without copy by hand. BTW A Very Nice Feature of InForm!
2. This code is much harder to break! Not simple letter swapping at all, in fact it's coded into numbers.
3. You can now seed the randomizer with your own secret Numeric Key, with any Long Integer.
update: 4. No issues with font problems (space or 2?) because the coded message is in numbers now.
Update: A coded message under 1026 Numeric Key for YOU!
Code: (Select All)
236 874 603 273 913 156 424 724 710 471 263 175 471 767 70 388 137 76 69 318 207 132 481 689 287 20 550 471 297 331 802 883The zip is setup to work without your own Inform app.

I added a coded message for YOU! in the above post
Oh hey! if you don't know what the Numeric Key is try counting the number of numbers and squaring that for the key, it's what bplus would do
