see ./INTRO, I can't program C...

-- DESCRIPTION --
The program exists because of some necessity
to recover pictures and texts from drives;
 that got formated... Intentionally...
 or because of file inodes that got unmarked;
 intentionally... ("deleted files")

I need to recover those somehow, but UNIX 'grep'
 counts with the registers until
 it meets an overflow error; and
 it limits you on continuated patterns.


CONTINUATED PATTERN SEARCH:

Imagine yourself to search for pattern 'ABC'.
 -that is easily done with grep.
But what with 'ABC' followed (after an eternity)
 by 'BCD';
 -imagine now, that this is also a binary file...
 -now it gets frustrating to do with grep...
 -now imagine: you want to save everything
  in the middle of those two patterns also...
  *bad luck!
 -sed/awk? -no option... I would like to still
  differentiate the contents and save them
  to different files.

And I also didn't want to write an ultra
 ressource intensive dd/grep utility, because
 dd must of course always seek from beginning
 of file...
My program will do this too, but:
 one run, all searches;
 doing one bufferoverflow after another
 to reach the end of my exabyte drive...

This task of finding files with no inode-parents
 is what *spin* is all about!
