   wtco: what characters are in a file? counts

synopsis
   wtco(input: in, output: out)

files
   input: the file to be studied
   output: an alphabetic list of the characters in the file, giving:
      the character,
      the ordinal number of the character (pascal ord function),
      how many such characters are in the file,
      and the percent of the character in the file.

description
   Sometimes it is necessary to determine what characters are in a file.
   if the file is very large, it is not possible to do this by hand.
