Hi All,
Now that so many old books have been converted to text or PDF files,
I've made a small program that might eventually be of some use for
establishing who might have published certain astrological words or
terms first.
It's a simple text analysis program that reads any text file and
counts each word and the number of times it was used. The results are
printed in both word-count (and %) order plus alphabetical order.
It will be easy now to see the following:
* When an author first used certain terms
* Most frequently used words or terms
* What words or terms were not used at all
* Vocabulary per 1000 words written
* Themes in the text
