That would be a good idea if the texts in Shalom were written in 7-bit
ASCII characters. But they aren't. They are written in katakana and
hiragana, which are graphical characters which ASCII code is >127, so
'strings' wouldn't detect them.
Besides, I've heard that Shalom's texts are somehow packed to fit in
256Kb, but I'm not sure of it.
