Hmm. Golf eh? 88 strokes. First 99 19 values. Bleh. 99 takes too long.

Works under linux, Swap double and single quotes for Windows.

perl -E'$_=1;while(++$t<19){say;my@a;push@a,length$1,$2 while/((\d)\2*

    thundergnat,

    This just trims a few characters from your approach, which I think is a very good one (I couldn't find an inherently better one). 

    # 68 strokes
perl -E'map{say$_=$t||1;$t="";$t.=(length$&).$1while/(.)\1*/g}0..19'

    s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/
