They are different programs with different purposes, so there's not much point in comparing them. For example, SCOS2 was designed to encrypt *only* printable ASCII, a restriction that in the quest for internationalisation your program completely overlooks... and that's fine, because they are different programs with different purposes. Your program also adds a layer of difficulty to ciphertext-only attacks, whereas SCOS2 was designed to be easy to attack. And that too is fine; they are different programs with different purposes.
