Stringscope

This gist is no longer maintained, see the new project repo.

Stringscope is a tool to display a list of text the strings contained in a binary file, i.e. the sequences of printable characters longer than a minimum threshold of 4 characters. The program, which is written in and runs under Medley Interlisp, is similar to the Unix tool strings.

Usage

First load Stringscope by evaluating:

pamoroso

{ Print sequences of printable characters in a file.

The program, which is similar to Unix strings(1), implements the following
state machine:

STATE     INPUT    NEXT STATE       ACTIONS
----------------------------------------------------------
Binary    Unprint  Binary
Binary    Print    MaybeStr         Append input to Buffer

Developed with Turbo Pascal under CP/M-80 3.0 but should compile and run on any system where Turbo Pascal is available.

Usage

To start the program execute:

pamoroso

View

A paginated file viewer similar to Unix more(1) developed in Turbo Pascal under CP/M-86.

The code is currently just a stub and it's still being written.

Usage

To run the program:
