What is the strength of the MPJ/Diamond algorithm (Michael Paul Johnson 1989)



I have seen the Diamond2 algorithm in the dlock2 package, with its predecessors MPJ, MPJ2.
This a thesis by Michael Paul Johnson for is Master of Science degree (1989), and a free softwar (date: 12/21/1995).
Schneier's Applied Cryptography doesn't say anything about MPJ or Diamond.
What is its strength?
