Can anyone point me to existing software, preferably freeware or
shareware, that can examine a free-text file and determine its
components?  That is, I'm looking for software that can build indexes
into a free-text file for words, sentances, and paragraphs -- perhaps
with options to give a user control of how delimeters are defined and
handled.  

I'm also interested in locating freeware for noun phrase recognition
and/or part-of-speech tagging.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!  Thanks in advance!
