# This script generates "counterstrings" - self-documenting test data like 
# "*3*5*7*10*" and "2*4*6*8*11*" that help you test various string lengths. 
# If you report the status of the tests run with the counterstrings, the 
# script will help you use bisection to find exactly what point when 
# increasing the string length that a failure or other behavior change occurs.

# This script is designed for MacOS (small changes to pbcopy can make it portable elsewhere)
