Not the best solution, however, use ps2ascii ( if should be on you distro),
then use wc -w

for example:

ps2ascii file.ps file.txt; wc file.txt; rm file.txt

Not really great....but in a pinch.

Have to tell you, ps2ascii is just a script using the gs program to convert.

It's a touch buggy on my machine, you may have to alter the options in the
script....

Like I said, not necessarily the best solution.
