SYNOPSIS

9       prep [ -dio ] file ...

DESCRIPTION

12       Prep  reads each file in sequence and writes it on the standard output,
13       one `word' to a line.  A word is a string of alphabetic characters  and
14       imbedded  apostrophes,  delimited  by  space or punctuation.  Hyphented
15       words are broken apart; hyphens at the end of lines are removed and the
16       hyphenated parts are joined.  Strings of digits are discarded.
17
18       The following option letters may appear in any order:
19
20       -d     Print the word number (in the input stream) with each word.
21
22       -i     Take  the  next  file as an `ignore' file.  These words will not
23              appear in the output.  (They will be counted,  for  purposes  of
24              the -d count.)
25
26       -o     Take  the  next  file  as an `only' file.  Only these words will
27              appear in the output.  (All other words will also be counted for
28              the -d count.)
29
30       -p     Include punctuation marks (single nonalphanumeric characters) as
31              separate output lines.  The punctuation marks  are  not  counted
32              for the -d count.
33
34       Ignore and only files contain words, one per line.
