e‰WORDCT DOC ñÍWORDCT COMî˜ÿ WORDCT.DOC ---------- Instructions for WORDCT.COM Version 3.1 - 01/87 WORDCT.COM is a word counting utility. Now written in Z80 assembler, it is very small (1K) and fast. It provides an accurate word count for any text file, including WordStar documents. (WORDCT copes with "soft" characters and so on.) You can run it from within WordStar using the No-File Menu "R" command. SYNTAX: A>WORDCT FILENAME.TYP EXAMPLE: A>wordct b:mytext.fil WORDCT requires only a valid filename. A typical result looks like: B>a:wordct mytext.fil WORDCT 3.1 (c) E.Meyer 01/87 Counting.... 5966 words. You can abort WORDCT by typing a ^C while it is counting (though it may take second or two before it notices). LIMITS: WORDCT can count up to 65535 words. That's about 300K. CAVEATS: WORDCT uses a reasonable counting algorithm, but the idea of a "word" is somewhat fuzzy, and the results should never be taken as "absolutely precise". WORDCT is clever enough to know that words can be hyphenated at the end of a line, for example; but it can't read. The results should be accurate enough for any practical purpose. HISTORY: WORDCT 3.1 is more accurate and noticably faster than version 3.0. It no longer counts "K" (use XDIR) and "lines" (arguably defined). ----- Eric Meyer, 427 N.
