Proquints:
                    Identifiers that are Readable,
                     Spellable, and Pronounceable

Welcome!

Please see the article on proquints: http://arXiv.org/html/0901.4016;
A local copy is in proquint-proposal.txt and this can be converted to
proquint-proposal.gen.html by typing "make".

For the C and Java implementations: run "make clean all check" to
build and check.  After that you can run "make demo" for a simple demo
and "make examples" for more examples.  Run "make proquint" for C only.

Local implementations by Daniel S. Wilkerson:

 * C implementation: proquint.c converts between proquint, hex, and
   decimal strings.

 * Java implementation: Proquint.java converts between proquint, hex,
   and decimal strings.

Local implementations by others:

 * Python implementation by Ruslan Shestopalyuk: converts between
   proquint, hex, decimal and IPv4 address strings. Installs a script
   'proquint', which can be used to convert between above
   representations via command line (see python/README.md)

 * Javascript implementation by Luděk Rašek: The code is in
   js/proquint.js.  Try it in js/proquint.html for values of arbitrary
   length.  Demo is accessible as github page:
   http://l-ra.github.io/proquint/js/proquint.html

Remote implementations by others:

 * Elixir implementation by Khaja Minhajuddin: Converts binaries to
   proquint encoded strings, Decodes proquint encode strings to
   binaries. Implementation can be found at
   https://hexdocs.pm/proquint/Proquint.html
   
 * Elm implimentation:
   - Install with `elm install michaelglass/proquint`.
   - Docs are here:
   https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/michaelglass/proquint/latest/Proquint.


 * Perl implementation by Mark Lawrence: Can also be installed from
   CPAN with cpan Proquint (or +cpanm+ if one has it installed).
