+Text processing systems are now in heavy use in many companies
+to format documents.
+With many documents stored
+on line, it has become possible to use computers
+to study writing style itself and to help writers
+produce better written and more readable prose.
+The system of programs described here is an initial step
+toward such help.
+It includes programs and a data base designed
+to produce a stylistic profile of writing at the word and
+sentence level.
+The system measures read\%ability, sentence and word length,
+sentence type, word usage, and sentence openers.
+It also locates common examples of wordy phrasing and bad diction.
+The system is useful for evaluating a document's style,
+locating sentences that may be difficult to read or
+excessively wordy, and determining
+a particular writer's style over several documents.
