I have just gone public with three chapters of Turing's Treatise on
Enigma. This is a joint effort of three members of the Crypto
Simulation Group who have entirely retyped the Treatise. The only
publicly existing copy, which is coming from NARA, is extremely poor
in many places and even if the complete text now has been retyped
there is still a lot of work left to get all the drawings and tables
done correctly.

The three chapters which now have been released should be seen as
preliminary
versions. We are working hard on preparing the other chapters but it
probably will still take a few months before we will do the next
release.

You can access the Web page with the Treatise from my Cryptology page
at: http://home.cern.ch/~frode/crypto/index.html

Please enjoy. It is interesting reading.

Frode
