"""
Python program for the Fractionated Morse Cipher.

The Fractionated Morse cipher first converts the plaintext to Morse code,
then enciphers fixed-size blocks of Morse code back to letters.
This procedure means plaintext letters are mixed into the ciphertext letters,
making it more secure than substitution ciphers.
