This is even simpler tool, maybe it address rare need - just to
truncate first nnn bytes from beginning of file
Possible usage:
truncfile -header -12384 ifile ofile
truncates/deletes header, which is 12384 bytes long, the output is
written to ofile. Ofile is shorter than ifile, the difference is 12384
bytes. No CR/LF issues, just byte after byte.
On Windows install you can WSL and use Linux tools. Or use Powershell
and do something similar. I don't use Powershell that often and have to
study to find a bash analog but it's simple using Linux.
tail -c +12385 ifile | iconv -f ibm-1047 -t utf-8 >> ofile
