Missing strings.exe in binutils

[Jeff Hubbs]

Hi -

I have a script within a very complex software package that uses the 
"strings"
command.  Everything I Googled/read suggests that strings.exe comes from the
binutils package.  The problem is that neither of the available versions 
of binutils
seem to actually contain strings.exe.  It's not in /usr/bin; find can't turn
it up under /usr at all.

There's even this:

     $ cygcheck -p strings.exe
     Found 19 matches for strings.exe
     x86/binutils/binutils-2.24.51-2
     x86/binutils/binutils-2.24.51-3

And if I go to
https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=x86%2Fbinutils%2Fbinutils-2.24.51$
this appears:

     2014-05-29 02:01      709661 usr/bin/strings.exe

Yet there's no strings.exe.  I've even tried binutils packages from a few
different mirrors.

If there's no fixed binutils package available, can someone shoot me a
strings.exe I can just fly into place for the time being?

Thanks,
- Jeff
