Hello,

     We have an instructer here who has expressed a desire for the
utilities available from AT&Ts Writers Workbench on our Sun 4/490
system. These utilities provide such capabilities as analysis of the
reading level of a document, stylistic analysis, evaluation of sexist
language and the like (I don't have a complete list).

     AT&T no longer offers source code for these utilities and I have
had no luck locating an authorized reseller who has a Sun port.

     So my questions are:

1)  Does anybody offer a port of these tools for Sun4? and

2)  Are there any free or commercial packages out there that offer the
same sorts of capabilities without requiring the purchase of some full
blown expensive publishing package which we don't need (we plan to use
these with troff).

     Any information/pointers appreciated.

Thanks
--Frank
