[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Poetry analyzers...

ao@infovax.UUCP (Anders Ohlsson) (08/22/89)

	Hello world!

	Does anybody know if there is a program in the public domain
	that takes input from a text file, does some statistical
	calculations, and outputs a new text with the same statistics.

	It could also be one of those poetry analyzing and writing
	programs if there are any in the public domain.

	That is, the program shall (based on some parameters) output a
	text that looks like plain language, but in fact is just nonsense.

	I have got a reference to BYTE vol 10 nr 7 page 163, but I
	haven't found that magazine.

	Is there anybody who has the BYTE program or a better one???


				Thanks in advance,

					Anders Ohlsson
