Check this out. It is a pretty good caesar's box (square?) encoder/decoder. http://members.lycos.co.uk/caesarbox/

It simulates a caesar's square. Instead of writing out the square yourself, this tool will do it for you. So... "The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown" works out to "TaibB3VCyrhioDoendawDcenn". The tool adds some characters, when needed, to create the perfect square needed, but that just makes the code more difficult to break, or at least more confusing.

A Caesar's Square?
I have no idea what this has to do with The Da Vinci Code.

It worked when I went there yesterday. Maybe there are server problems today.

It worked for me. Some of the ones it came up with didn't fit when I undid them, though. Even removing the ramdom letters and numbers left me with a jumble of letters, not my orignal message.

this has been a public service to those of the community who do not want to take the time to rearrange 121 letters.
