Do I win $2.56? I found an "assert false" in Sizes:populateList() :-)
Here's another funny:
  mono WordCount.exe file .. works
  cobra wordcount file .. seems to give various error
(maybe there's something wrong w/ argument passing?)

But, it looks like an impressive accomplishment in what -- a little
under 1 year?

If you don't have something like it, some design "reflections" might be
a nice thing to write down before getting too much further along.

I can't find that. Maybe you're still deciding?

Hmmm, I suppose I might have to learn a bit about mono, after all.

Anyway, congratulations.  I look forward to spending some time playing
with it.
