Wow, I never realized how long they actually are, so I just enhanced
my word count function to do some calcs minus line ending chars:
options.txt:
51,006 actual words
64,048 average words (5-letters)
320,243 characters (includes spaces and tabs)
256 average 250 word pages (160 at 400)
eval.txt:
43,757 actual words
54,845 average words (5-letters)
274,225 characters (includes spaces and tabs)
219 average 250 word pages (137 at 400)
Although for anyone actually expecting to learn how to write
vimscript, this is just a Saturday afternoon read.
