"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, Thunor) 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 2.0+ 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. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 12284 5432 55.7% 16-Dec-97 22:41:54 +TextInfo 16492 7097 56.9% 16-Dec-97 22:42:18 +TextInfo.doc -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 28776 12529 56.4% 17-Dec-97 02:36:12 2 files
