ROT-47

[Bill Day]

There used to be a downloadable program for this. I still have it on
an older WINCP machine, but it won't install on WIN7.
Now there are a couple dozen online sites, but I'd sure like to have
it locally.
Any ideas?

For Windows freewares, search in Source Forge.

https://sourceforge.net/directory/windows/?q=rot47

For any-platform freewares (which also includes Windows), search in GitHub.
But most GitHub projects don't provide any binary (sic). Binaries when
provided, are in the "Releases" page whose link is at the right sidebar on
each project's main page. GitHub don't have any big green download buttons
for binaries. While there is one, it's _NOT_ for the binary.

I still have it on an older WINCP machine, but it won't install on WIN7.

Which software is that? Title? URL?
Perhaps it's just the installer which go wonky when run in Win7.
You could try extracting the content using 7-Zip or Universal Extractor.

For whatever reason, it can no longer be downloaded.. and it seems
no one else is willing to put the algorithm in a program.

Dunno why it's removed, but we can still get it from the archive of the
author site.

Still works in Windows 7.

Its installer was made using Inno Setup. Its content can be extracted using
either Universal Extractor, or innounp (included in Universal Extractor).
7-Zip can't extract it, since 7-Zip Inno Setup archive support has not been
updated for a long time.

Rototexter requires MSVBVM60.DLL from Microsoft Visual Basic 6 Runtime,
which isn't included in the installer. It can be downloaded from the archive
of Microsoft site.

Also found winRot13 which also support ROT-47. No dependency.

Note: the download in that page doesn't exist in the archive.

Steady on JJ. Why are you wasting so much time on this useless crap?

"There are lots of unnecesary tools out there. Especially for lazy users."

Which just came back to bite you.

That is it! It works just right. I thought I was pretty good at
searching, but I didn't find this.
Thank you for the effort.
It is curious why no current site hosts it.
