Small utility programs for phonology (Bruce Hayes)

Over the years I've written these little things to do tasks that come up over and over in dealing with phonological data.  They only run in Windows, and are written in a programming  language that Microsoft has abolished (but if that doesn't discourage you, I can send you the source code anyway; bhayes@humnet.ucla.edu.)

String reverser:   takes in set of strings and outputs a file with the original strings plus a reverse-order copy.   Paste this back into a spreadsheet program and you can do reverse-order sorting.

Token-to-type converter:  takes in a text file and counts how many distinct (lines/words/symbols) there are

Binner:  takes in a set of numbers, or number pairs, plus a set of "bins" (numerical ranges), and counts how many values there are in each bin.

Find compounds:  Find all strings in a list that are the concatenation of two other strings.

Combinator:  Forms all string combinations of a list of strings up to a certain length; for example, { a, b } and "3" gives {a, b, aa, ab, ba, bb, aaa, aab,aba, abb, baa, bab, bba, bbb }.
