I'm also not sure if FPC compiler parameters where used. I did.
I compiled as:    fpc project1.pas


Anyway, here is the Hash Table vs No Hash Table results.  Quite a
difference in speed when using the hash table.


graemeg at graemeg:word_parser$ time ./project1_nohashtable
Word count:126944
Unique word count:11793

real    0m0.291s
user    0m0.276s
sys     0m0.004s


graemeg at graemeg:word_parser$ time ./project1

graemeg at graemeg:word_parser$ time perl ./project1.perl
