MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The WORDFREQ and WC utilities provided with Word Versions 3.x works properly only with Word-formatted files. ASCII-text files or files created with other word processors cannot be used with the utility. The error message:

Cannot read input file!

appears when an invalid file is used. This error message also appears when the .DOC extension is not used with the Word input filename.

Please note that WORDFREQ.COM and WC.COM are not provided with Word Versions 4.00 and 5.00, but will work correctly with formatted files created in these versions.
