  What is it?
  -----------

  Lnrestats is a library of programs for LNRE statistical analyses of word 
  frequency distributions (see R.H.Baayen, Word Frequency Distributions.  
  Dordrecht: Kluwer, 2001).  The statistical analyses themselves
  are carried out by a suite of programs written in ANSI C (With optional
  gcc-specific and assembly optimizations), the GUI is written in Tcl/Tk. 

  The source code of the C programs is available in the Linux/Unix release
  under the GNU general public license. For the Tcl/Tk GUI to run, it is 
  assumed that Tcl/Tk 8.0 (and up) is already installed on the system.
