I just realized where the discrepancy comes from: you *replaced* one character of the original message with a special character, so the resulting alphabet size didn’t change, whereas I *added* a non-alphanumeric character to the message, which did change my alphabet size. This calculator doesn’t know about “special characters,” all it knows about are the number of unique input symbols it is given and how that relates to the total message size. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
