In response to Lamar Hill's query about stylometrics, I should like to
mention that my book Icon Programming for Humanists follows the general
outline of Kenny's book. On p. 2 I comment "...We emphasize the writing of
programs which manipulate or study texts, and follow largely the kind of
procedures which are mapped out for manual use in Kenny...Many of the
programs developed here are in fact automations of procedures suggested by
Kenny." Since the book is accompanied by a disk, the student concerned may be
able to adapt the programs to her own needs, or have someone adapt them for
her. The ISBN of the book is 0-13-450180-2.

What is meant by "computer-generated literary texts"? When I was at
the State University of Stony Brook (NY, Long Is.) there was an active
undergrad-grad group writing texts together on the computer (not part
of course work!). Is this the sort of thing you mean?
