Measures the "chaos" of each of a set of files.  It tells you
1. the average line length.
2. the average deviation from the average line length.
3. the maximum line length.
4. total lines in file.
5. totaL words in file.
6. total characters in file.
You might use it to decide which text files need to be tidied to have
consistent line lengths, or which are so big they should be split.
It works only on *.html *.htm *.txt *.bat and *.btm files.  It words on
Windows CrLf or Unix Lf format text files.  It presumes the default
encoding, though it will work reasonably well with most other encodings.
To test a single file, type:
  java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\chaos\chaos.jar myfile.html
You can also list several files on the command line:
  java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\chaos\chaos.jar myfile.html C:\mydir\another.html
To process the entire current directory of HTML files:
  java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\chaos\chaos.jar .
Sorry no wildcards, just . , and ..
DON'T USE WILDCARDS unless you deeply understand how they work.  See
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/wildcard.html.  Windows expands them, not
amper, and feeds them to amper (or any other program) as a giant list of
all the directories and files in the current directory.  Amper will thus
tend process all the files in your directories, when you just meant to
process the files in the current directory.
The -s switch makes all subsequent directories searched recursively to
include all their subdirectories.
e.g.
  java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\chaos\chaos.jar -s E:\mindprod
will process all *.html files in the mindprod directory tree, ignoring
nonm-text files.
If you have the jar extension set up as executable, you can abbreviate:
  C:\com\mindprod\chaos\chaos.jar .
Why the lines icon?  It represents a chaotic file with wildly varying line
lengths that you might want to tidy or split.
