This looks just too much like base64 encoding. Decoding them as base64 indeed showed that they might be somehow shifted and then base64 encoded: python
f=file("code") for line in f:
... print line.rstrip('\n')," ", line.decode('base64') ... aQ== i cg== r ew== { aWo= ij aXE= iq e3g= {x aWpq ijj aWpx ijq aXFx iqq cnFx rqq so you can continue with the rest, I'm too lazy for that ;) Thomas
