If you mean SCOS, it is also not Unix shell friendly. :-(

 
If you use here documents in bash, try to *quote* the
end-of-file marker as shown here:
 
| user15@o15:/tmp$ ./scos2 e 12 16 <<"EOF"

This is important escpecially when decrypting, as e. g.
a $ sign might expand a variable.
 
See "man bash", too.

SCOS is not well thought out. It should use the base64
alphabet and allow binary encoding as well. Well, after
all it is only a toy for some sci.crypt geeks.
