[PLUG] Paragraph Counting Script

Does anyone have a working script that will count chunks of text separated
by two newlines?
I have a plain text file with names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. and
I'm curious how many distinct entities are in the file. Each line ends with
a newline, but they are separated by a blank line. I'm sure that such a tool
can be cobbled together from shell tools or any scripting language and,
rather than re-inventing the wheel, I'd like to use one already written.
TIA,
Rich
