LetStat is a program that scans text data, from files or standard input, gathers some statistics, then prints the results in a report.
I know, it's not exactly a cure for cancer.
Still, it IS my first major project. And I am not settling for a half-baked job either. No sir; LetStat is already quite fast, scanning 3.7MB per second (Athlon 1GHz, 512MB of RAM @ 100MHz, piping in from /dev/zero). It has enough command line options for most people, will support Unicode, and has statistics ranging from alphabet usage to typing efficiency. Did I mention it's written in C, and aims to be cross-platform?
The current version of LetStat is 0.3; it's missing a lot, but there's enough there to have some fun. You can currently download it as:
| raw source | any platform | tar/gzip |
| Linux glibc-2.2 | i386 binary | tar/gzip |
| Win32 | i386 binary | zip |
| OpenBSD 2.9 | i386 binary | tar/gzip |
No RPMs or DEBs are available. Yet.
