Hi,

I looked into the windows installation of octave, which I have on a virtual 
machine and can see that the MSYS which is installed in the octave folder 
contains the wc command anyway:

C:\Octave\3.2.3_gcc-4.4.0\MSYS\bin

You should look into your octave installation folder if you have this also 
there.

Hope that helps.
