Did some reading. The first thing that puts me on alert about the result is this: " Most programmers in the script group used the associative arrays provided by their language and stored the dictionary words to be retrieved by their number encodings" For C++/non-scripting they either used plain arrays or custom build tree in one case. So they had to write lots of code. Sorry but there are associative arrays in C++ standard library and search and this and that. Building the program they've specified would be a no brainer in modern C++. This article is irrelevant for current situation.
