TextInfo's task is to count all the various _unique_ words in texts
and list them.  "Mine your mine" = 3 words, 2 unique (mine, your).
Read.  If you find the following facts interesting, then this may
be a program for you.

        !  Two Cities by Dickens has almost twice as many unique words
        as the Koran, despite the fact that the Koran is bigger.  (Two
        Cities 8041/138384, Koran 4300/152164).  Plato's the Republic
        (translated, as the Koran) has 45 % more (6199/127005).

        !  Moby Dick has 13403/213486 words; that is 27 % more than
        the Bible's 10560/812394, even though Moby Dick's size is only
        about one quarter of the Bible's!

        !  A friend (greetings Théonore) told me that he had heard that
        there was a word in the Bible that occured 666 times, and it
        was the name of the Beast.  There is no such word in King
        James Bible...

        !  You need only to know the meaning of 48 words to understand
        half of the words written in the Bible...  (37 in the Koran,
        44 in the Republic, 64 in Two Cities and 87 in Moby Dick).

REQUIREMENTS

        OS 2.04+ and a mind that is more interested in how many grains of
        sand the average beach contains, than the latest sport results or
        soap operas.

HISTORY

    v1.3 (990107)

       ** When I wanted to include the output in an email, the mailer
       of course couldn't handle the tabs. I tried to circumvent this
       by specifying -t32,1, hoping that TextInfo would make the output
       32 characters wide... but when it didn't work I vaguely remembered
       being too lazy to accept more tabs than 9 (one digit only) and
       so I fixed this and made sure that spaces are printed instead
       of tabs, if the tabsize is set to 1.

       This is all for this release, still no request for more features.
       Perhaps the program is perfect now? :)
