     _\bS_\bt_\by_\bl_\be analyzes the surface characteristics of the writing
     style of a document.  It reports on readability, sentence
     length and structure, word length and usage, verb type, and
     sentence openers.	Because _\bs_\bt_\by_\bl_\be runs _\bd_\be_\br_\bo_\bf_\bf before looking
     at the text, formatting header files should be included as
     part of the input.  The default macro package -\b-m\bms\bs may be
     overridden with the flag -\b-m\bmm\bm.\b. The flag -\b-m\bml\bl, which causes
     d\bde\ber\bro\bof\bff\bf to skip lists, should be used if the document con-
     tains many lists of non-sentences.  The other options are
     used to locate sentences with certain characteristics.

     -\b-a\ba   print all sentences with their length and readability
	  index.

     -\b-e\be   print all sentences that begin with an expletive.

     -\b-p\bp   print all sentences that contain a passive verb.

     -\b-l\bl_\bn_\bu_\bm
	  print all sentences longer than _\bn_\bu_\bm.

     -\b-r\br_\bn_\bu_\bm
	  print all sentences whose readability index is greater
	  than _\bn_\bu_\bm.

     -\b-P\bP   print parts of speech of the words in the document.

     Use of non-standard formatting macros may cause incorrect
     sentence breaks.
