- ║ BreakDown -- a text analysis program by Neil J. Rubenking, inspired by ║
- ║ the article on the "TRAVESTY" program in the November 1984 BYTE, by ║
- ║ Kenner and O'Rourke, which was itself inspired by Brian Hayes' article ║
- ║ in the November 1983 Scientific American. ║
- ║ This program, written in TURBO Pascal, uses BORLAND's TURBO ║
- ║ TOOLBOX to manage its data. Note that the DATA files it produces will ║
- ║ be B I G. In the unlikely case of NO repetition of text patterns, the ║
- ║ .DAT file will be S*C bytes, where S is the # of bytes in the source, ║
- ║ and C is the number of characters being tracked (currently 34). You ║
- ║ will have the chance to distribute the files to various disks. ║
- ║ You can read several texts into the same BreakDown, or Merge two ║
- ║ BreakDowns. In this way, you can build up a "style table" for one ║
- ║ author, or create bizarre hybrids. ║
