Thanks to all who replied about this. A lot of you suggested WP8 but I was
unable to get this to install, possibly because it doesn't work with kernel
2.2.x. Anyway, I don't think it's worth the amount of disk space it would
take (I like vim/latex).
Strings is a good idea; I hadn't heard of it previously. I'll give it a go.
