PB utiliity to count all characters in a CNC ascii text
file. Can be useful to detect non-printing characters,
lower case "L" in place of one, etc. Count generated for
ascii characters 0 through 255. Includes PowerBasic and exe
file that will run under Windows -- no dos box needed.
Includes some test cnc input files and sample output. Also
outputs .csv file for Excel analysis.
