Hermetic Word Frequency Counter

This software scans a text file, or text on the clipboard, and counts the number of occurrences of the different words (optionally ignoring common words such as this). The words which are found can be listed alphabetically or by Frequency, with rank and frequency displayed for each word. This software acts on text and text-like files; it does not act directly on MS-Word .doc files, which are binary files (see Scannable Files below). The Advanced Version of this software does everything that this version does (and in addition has the ability to count words in multiple files and the ability to count phrases as well as words). Thus the user manual for this basic version should be regarded as Part One of the user manual for the Advanced Version (but note that the appearance of the main window and of the `Set parameters` window differ somewhat in the two versions).
