   Use:     The program is run in OS/2 command mode. It may be run in
            a VIO window.  

   Usage:   strings <options> <file>...

            Zero or more filenames may be specified. Names may include
            wildcards. If no name is specified, stdin is read. 
  
   Options: Options may be flagged with "-" or "/". 

            -a      examine entire file.  Without this, the program
                    examines only data segments of exe files. 
            -o      prefix each string found with its offset from
                    the start of the file.
            -x      valid only with -o option; print the offset in hexadecimal.
            -nnn    print only strings containing at least the specified
                    number of printable characters.  3 is the default.
