Subject: Query regarding source of Digraphs

I note it says there was some person associated with providing the initial digraphs.

But I can't seem to find anything about that name on the internet, no published literature, nothing.

I ask because I'm tempting the idea of writing something like Lingua::EN::Digraphs , in the hope others may attempt similar like Lingua::FR::Digraphs , and then Text::Pronouncable may eventually hook into one selectively to generate sentences in a form preferred by the speaker.

"This module generates pronuceable passwords, based the the English digraphs by D Edwards." Searching for https://www.google.com/search?q=English+digraphs+by+D+Edwards gets me http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb/user/tytso/src/digraphs.h If you dig a little deeper, searching for "mpw" as noted in the history section, you can find the C version from 1986: http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb/user/kolya/afs/root.afs/net/user/tytso/src/mpw.c
