I have seen several messages on this echo recently envolving
people asking for word counters.  I have written one which I will
consider distributing if I get enough replies to this message.
It is a simple command-line counter which takes the filename as
it's input.  It does need cleaned up a bit, but that's no problem
to do.
Testing this program on an AMD 486 dx4-100 it took about 25
seconds to work through an 85000 line textfile.  This could be
speeded up significantly however with some new code I have
written recently [not yet tested].
Pleas reply if you are interested and I will do my best to make
the program available.
