small change to field-matching metrics which hopefully makes a big improvement to results. inter-field comparison is now counterbalanced with intra-field total (vertical) variation. this means that areas of extreme high frequency content, which become aliased within individual fields, will not interfere with field matching. examples: white noise effects, small kanji, very small latin text, ... may still need tweaking. please report regressions. this change will likely be made optional in the future (right now it's enclosed in "if (1)"...

/*
    bios2dump.c - Was designed to dump memory block to file.
    Usage: as argument requires absolute address of memory dump and its lenght
    (int hexadecimal form).
    as output - will write file which will named: memADDR_LEN.dump
    where: ADDR - given address of memory
           LEN  - given length of memory
