8-bit string handling library
Introduction
This is a collection of utilities and structures for dealing with different 8-bit strings. Basically it provides easy ways to converting strings to and from Rust string types and debugging those strings.
It depends on the standard library and core. It's not meant for embedded systems. The goal here is reading and writing old filesystems on newer systems. But it can be used for other projects.
Currently it supports fixed-length PETSCII strings. PETSCII is the character set used on early Commodore Business Machines systems.
Contributing
Other 8-bit string support is welcome. Some other string types may be added in the future.
