Using the programming language of your choice (so long as it is either compilable or interpretable on my Linux OS), write a program that can decode various binary encoded messages. This is an individual programming assignment (i.e., each student will submit one program).

Notes and Requirements:

Submit your source code only (I will provide my own binary encoded messages to test with);

Read the binary encoded message from stdin;

Send generated output (plaintext) to stdout;

Binary input may either be 7- or 8-bit ASCII (which you should automatically detect);

Input will only contain printable characters;

Input may contain whitespace characters (e.g., space, tab, carriage return, linefeed which you should replicate in the output); and

Input may contain backspaces (which you should replicate in the output)!

Please, no GUIs. Make this a command line application without frills that I can execute at the command line as illustrated below.

Here are several runs of my program on various inputs:
