It takes pattern as periods and asterisks on standard in and does its own analysis of period and rotor/stator.

Ohhh, thanks. I'm gonna run this for every pattern I discover

Well, it pretty much works. It can, with no manual intervention, reduce something like: Do you use a script to convert the oscillator into rotor/stator bitmap? If so could you share it? I have no intention of running this on every (or any really) posted oscillators, it's just so tedious. If there i...
