[Cialug] strings(1)

Sometimes when I run 'strings' on a binary file I don't get back everything
I figured would be in the file. Sometimes there's text in a program that
strings doesn't find.

Why does some text show up as text in a binary file and some doesn't?
What's the high level explanation there?
