I am posting this message for my colleague Phil Baldi:

Is anyone aware of a software program that will generate permissible
letter combinations which conform to morpheme structure conditions
in English? Such a program could be used, for example, to create
stimulus items for psycholinguistic tests. I have a vague
recollection of some commercially available item, but can't find
the source. Is there anything out there, either for a MAC or IBM?
Please respond directly to

pxb1psuadmin.bitnet

Thanks!

I would like to know if there are programs available (commercial/
shareware) for various text-analysis tasks such as building
frequency lists, concordances, etc. The one program I know is
TACT. But since TACT has certain limitations, I'm interested in
other programs as well.

Please send messages to me. I'll summarize for the list.

Does anyone have a contact address/fax/phone/email for Catspaw, Inc. (the
people who were - in 1987 - marketing a version of SNOBOL4 for the IBM/PC.
I have tried the address and phone number I have from that date with no
success. Perhaps they are no longer in business? Are there any other PC
SNOBOL4 processors around?

Thanks for the help
