I almost have a program completed for translating these.
Problem one is it is damn slow - just tries every poss combo.
Problem two - I want to feed it through a spell checker (the unix spell
	comand for example) but I can't figure out a way to accomplish
	that with out many writes to a disk -- which makes it ungodly
	slow. I tried popen and pclose, but it kept ckoking on the pclose
	part. Any input would be welcome.

If I get time I can dig up and post or send all the translated messages I
have (two or three) but don't hold your breath for me to get time.

easy,
