Some of the better Computer Science folks (or an ambitious grad
student looking for a project) might want to build a TRP parser that
analyzes the style of GR, Vineland, MD, and then compare the Tinasky
input and make a --- dare I suggest it? --- distribution chart showing
how Wanda Tinasky's writing compares. The parser alone would be
a handy item...
