A key to understand the VMS

[Koen G]

Torsten: if what Nick says is true, then it might help if you line out a simple step-by-step overview of how the process went from start to finish. I don't mean in detail, just the general steps. That might be necessary to provide clarity. If I'm not mistaken your hypothesis is that an author wanted to fill a manuscript with pseudo-text and you understand the system he used. How did this go from start to finish?
