Do not list all extra words after parsed data. #92

Closed larsbrinkhoff closed 3 years ago

larsbrinkhoff commented 3 years ago

Many files have additional unparsed data after the program. Listing all those words is often distracting.

larsbrinkhoff commented 3 years ago

Food for thought: what are all those words? Maybe some pattern can be discerned to make sense of them.

In some cases, it's just one additional start instruction.

Analysing the current set of sample files:

File Analysis
@.midas 1022 words of 1,,0
its.bin Third start JRST.
its.rp06 Third start JRST.
pt.rim Maybe symbol table? Ends with two JRST.
visib1.bin Third start JRST.
visib2.bin Third start JRST.
visib3.bin Third start JRST.

Alternating pt.rim words do make sense as SQUOZE. So apparently there's a symbol table even tough there normally wouldn't be one after a RIM10 binary. There's even a duplicate "JRST 100" to round it off, and a triplicate.
