From:  Karl A. Nyberg <KARL @ MIT-MC>

I am interested in programs that people might know of that give word
distributions, sentence lengths, etc., so as to gauge the complexity of
articles.  I'd also like to know if anyone could point me to any models
that specify that complexity in terms of these sorts of measurements.
Let me know if any programs you might know of are particular to any text
formatter, programming language, or operating system.  Thanks.
