Count is a simple program that recursivly counts the sizes
of files within a directory or volume.

* Count is internally multi-threaded so you can count
  many items simultaniously.

* Count works using an AppIcon on workbench and each
  separate window can be iconised so you can even change
  screen mode whilst counting many things simultainously.

* Count can the display physical size as well as logical size
  of files. Generally, on a filing system files take up
  an amount of space that is not equal to the actual file
  size - its generally bigger. This is because files must
  take up at least the size of one block on the filing system
  and often files will not fit exactly into a set number of
  blocks; this difference in size is what is meant by physical
  size as opposed to logical size. This "physical size" is
  sometimes useful to know. Of course, count displays the
  logical size of files to.

  You tell count to display physical size by choosing a
  menu option.

* Count can display varying levels of detail whilst it counts
  files.

  1) (Normal) It can display the filename of every single file
  it encounters.

  2) (Faster) It can display only the names of the directorys
  it encounters.

  3) (Fastest) It can display no interim information about the
  counting process at all and only display the results at the end.

* Counting can be both paused and aborted.

* Local preferences are saved into ENV: so during normal use
  you will not have to reselect your prefered options. Of course
  global prefs can be saved to ENVARC: - via a menu item.

* Count uses MUI so the interface is completly font sensitive and
  resizeable.
