I'm looking for the source to the Berkeley UNIX utility called "strings". It is used to find ascii strings inside a binary file. Any Help? Thanks Kevin Brown brown@hpbsm15.boi.hp.com

Well, you could check the bsd-sources directory on uunet.uu.net before posting a question about bsd sources to the entire world. In particular, I believe you will find everything you want in the directory /bsd-sources/pgrm/strings on uunet.uu.net. -- Jonathan Kamens USnail: MIT Project Athena 11 Ashford Terrace jik@Athena.MIT.EDU Allston, MA 02134 Office: 617-253-8085 Home: 617-782-0710

You might also check comp.sources.misc/volume7/nstrings.bsd.Z on uunet for an independent version. If everybody knew where everything was, then there would be no need for this newsgroup. --Paul Vojta, vojta@math.berkeley.edu

There's no FAQ here, and some unenlightened souls don't know about uunet. > In particular, I believe you will find everything you want in the > directory /bsd-sources/pgrm/strings on uunet.uu.net. This is almost certainly false. The 4.3-Reno Makefiles are unusable, the include files are nonexistent, the syscalls are obsolete, etc. It is much easier to get sources from gatekeeper.dec.com unless you're actually running a 4.3-Reno system. ---Dan
