The program WCNT.EXE is a compiled C program which is a modification
of the idea behind the UNIX program WC.EXE. Both programs counts the
number of characters, words, and lines in a standard text file. While
WC.EXE will report certain nonprintable characters in its count, WCNT.EXE
will not. WCNT.EXE also has the ability to process several files
one after the other if you enter multiple file names on the DOS command
line. I do not make any claims that WCNT.EXE is better than previous
word counting programs. It was simply written as an exercise in C.
The general idea was taken from the Kernighan & Ritchie book "The C
Programming Language". I made some improvements on the code presented
in that book.

The program was orginally compiled using the Mark Williams Let's C compiler.
The current version has been reworked using Turbo C Version 1.5 and makes
use of some of the new features of that compiler. The clrscr() function
is one of these and may not be available in the runtime library of another
compiler.
