      Provides a relatively easy way of estimating the number of words
      in a LaTeX document that does not require dvitty or other DVI
      converters; it does however require something like Unix grep -c
      that can search a file for a particular string and report the
      number of matching lines. An accompanying shell script
      wordcount.sh contains more information in its comments.
