with Robert H. Rasche, "EYEBALL: A Computer Program for Description of Style,", 6 (1972), 213-21.


The EYEBALL information system is designed for students of literature, with special applications to literary style, criticism, and the history of ideas. It is composed of a series of [mainframe] computer programs which surveys works of literature in natural (or real) language and, by two stages of intermediate processing, with the use of real-time hardware when possible, "marks" many of the text's properties of syntax and vocabulary use. [Note: these programs were the basis for the microcomputer version of EYEBALL.]
