You will need much more than these three.  Strings is part of GNU binutils
package which includes many other utilities.  Strings.c is included by
itself in one of the maintenance releases because the original source
produced broken code (it opened binary files in text mode).  If you need
to compile the program, you will have to fetch all the sources of binutils
(get files bnu24sr1.zip and bnu24sr2.zip: VERY large files indeed).
However, you already have this program compiled in your bin/ subdirectory,
so you needn't bother, really.
