Quote:Well, it can't be a ciphertext of any language which has a higher entropy than the VMS text (which rules out all European languages and many others)

I don't think that the VMS text has been compared with all European languages of the time (Early New High German, for example). What I saw in the Stallings' paper were just Latin and English, and the latter not earlier than 16th century version.
