( DTECount v1.2 )

  by Spikeman

What it does
============

I made DTECount to count DTE values so I could choose which pairs to use in
a hack I was making. I eventually ended up making it generate the table for
me. DTECount will take an chunk of text as input and count how many of each
pair of letters occur. You can then use this data to generate a table.
DTECount can save tables in the standard format.

How to use it
=============

Using DTECount is very simple. Simply paste your text in the input box and
click the count button. DTECount will not count pairs across newlines, so
if you want newlines to be counted you must replace them with another
character (such as an underscore) before counting.

Optimizing
==========

Click the optimize tab to go to the optimize section of DTECount. This screen
will give you information on the current size of the string (in the input).
To generate a table, simply input a target size (the size you would like the
string to compress to) and click generate. To copy the table in standard table
format, simply input a value to start the DTE values at (in hex) and click the
Copy button.

Note
====

I didn't really add much error handling because I didn't really think this was
good enough to release , so try not to input things that are obviously invalid,
or it will probably crash.
