I'm gonna add myself to the current motif. Decrypt this short text:

Code:
72<3>7=>3<47>55<8>3<6<8

It is fairly easy Tongue so the best algo wins (shorter & faster).
is it a sentence? :x Gah! Im horrible at these
It is a sentence Big Grin
is this the answer?
Code:
72<3>7=>3<47>55<8>3<6<8

if not i dont know >_>
I am asking you to decrypt my file.

C'mon, is it that hard?

I think it is fairly easy.
<edit>

Hey, that was not fair. You gave a serious hint and didn't give the algo to decrypt the text. Basicly, you ruined the challenge Sad
Awwwww... Meeeeeeeeeeeeg!

Ah well, I was gonna give it a shot, and fail. But Nate, tell us, how the heck do we decrypt that anyway?
YEEHAW!
this is soooo messy, but hey...

Code:
'AHA!
CLS
s$ = "72<3>7=>3<47>55<8>3<6<8 "
FOR I = 1 TO LEN(s$)
a$ = MID$(s$, I, 1)
IF VAL(a$) <> 0 THEN
   num$ = num$ + a$
ELSE
   IF orig = 0 THEN orig = VAL(num$)
   oldd$ = old$
   old$ = a$
   oldnum = num
   num = VAL(num$)
   num$ = ""
   SELECT CASE oldd$
     CASE ">"
       new = new + num
     CASE "<"
       new = new - num
   END SELECT
       PRINT CHR$(new + orig);
END IF
NEXT
