The brandnew ultra realistic ATOMIX virtual cipher machine is finished! After the Award Winning Enigma and M-209 simulators this is the third software cipher machine that makes you feel like a real cryptologist. The ATOMIX cipher machine is an advanced virtual Cold War era electro-mechanical rotor machine, situated between the Enigma and the Fialka M-125. With its eight irregular stepping rotors, moving in both directions, the ATOMIX has a far better cryptographic strength as the Enigma and has a tremendous key space. Its flexible pin settings provide many more different rotor movements than the Fialka. This very realistic virtual ATOMIX enables you to encipher and decipher messages and apply the key settings as you would with an actual machine. The sim has a great 'look' and 'feel' with detailed GUI. There's also a Formatted Clipboard and Autotyping Function. The program has a very complete helpfile, containing the manual, the enciphering procedures and all technical details on the machine. Complete program, ready to use!

Wow! Dirk, even by your incredible emulation standards this is very impressive. You have obviously put many hours into this - thanks for sharing. ***** (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Hello D. Incredible, your project; my compliments! Have a little problem: The numeric keys on the main keyboard doesn't work; have to use the keypad for numbers. Is that a bug or an international setting problem? PS) Rijmenants - Rijmen (Rijndael/AES) -- brothers? ;-) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Truly so very, very impressive. Your attention to detail puts a lot of very good VB programmers to shame. Well done mate ***** (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
You could take this even one step further. My guess is that originally this machine was geared up to output to paper. A complex task to make virtual but, not impossible. One would have to observe and study the way in which the paper progressively comes out whilst typing on say, a typewriter. As more paper came through it would curl slightly and the text viewing angle would be consistent with this. Big job. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
This submission deserves *far* more votes than it currently has! It's a shame to see how the much the voting frequency has reduced over the last few years (for example compare the vote count on the Enigma Simulator). Wish I could vote for this again :) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Hi Richard, thanks for the compliment but i believe the most important about votes is that it attracts others to come and take a peek, so that we can share the code with others. Since we're doing just fine this month i'm happy ;-) Must say that the new submissions traffic is far less than one year ago. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Have to agree with you and Richard. It used to be that there would routinely be two or three times as many submissions on the monthly leaderboard than there are these days. Not enough people are voting, and not enough people are submitting quality projects (although with you, LaVolpe, and Robert Rayment all submitting great projects this month things are much less dull!) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I think that there will always be considerable interest in 'old school VB programs' but, it has to be expected that the size of the audience will gradually decrement over time. I still think your doing pretty good PSC. From what I've seen, most submissions get around 100 or so hits a day within the first few weeks of being submitted. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
again, you come with good looking and functioning code.
congrats. and thanks for sharing (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
