Can anyone point me to a UNIX program that will analyze a text file and
produce a readability value, like the FOG index or a similar type of
rating?  Such a program would be very helpful for a research project that I
am working on.

Please e-mail any responses directly to me at one of the addresses below.
Thanks for any pointers!
