Word Count 
By C.A.B. 4/4/94
This program is in the public domain.

This program reads an ascii text or HTML file and reports how many words are 
in it.  HTML files are recognised by the file extension "htm".
It's useful for when you have to write a document of a certain length.
It can read files of up to 2 147 483 648 words long.
A word is a group of letters and/or numbers delimited by a space or a 
carriage return.  Punctuation is ignored.  Multiple spaces or carriage 
returns are also ignored.
If the file starts with a title and/or a copyright notice or byline, you
can choose not to have them included in the word count.
When an HTML file is read, the HTML tags and links are excluded from
the word count.
You can include the name of the file to read as a command line parameter,
or type it in when asked.  You will be asked if there is a title and/or
copyright notice in the file.  Answer 'y' or 'n'.
You don't have to run this program from the same directory that the file
is in - you can include the path in the filename.
If you attempt to read a binary file, the program will abort with a run-time 
error.
