Subject: How I solved it

To be honest, the reason that it took so long was that I was looking for multi-character combinations that would make a single letter. It didn't occur to me that it would be one number/letter to one letter, so I started by looking for hex code patterns. After several hours of this not working, I tried other letter multiples and then gave up in disgust.

Then,this morning I got the information that each letter was tied to a specific character. With this knowledge, and some fancy typing in MS Excel, I was able to make a spreadsheet that would turn each coded character into its real value, and see how that would fit with the other letters in real time, as soon as I found it.
I started with I and T, and then found the grouping of 10 letters with an I as the 3rd letter. This gave me 10 letters in total that I knew, and adding in 0 as the space gave me 11 out of 16. From there it was a simple matter of looking at the words and seeing what letters should fit where.

Thats pretty much it.
