This script sends a query to PubMed* and prints the MEDLARS-
formatted results to the screen.

Arguments:
    -h           Print out this help message.
    -c           Count the hits, and don't print them out.
    -d delay     Set the delay between queries.  This script limits
                 the query rate to prevent saturating NCBI's bandwidth.
                 By default one query is sent every %g seconds.
