I, also, remember a program (but was it in Pascal or BASIC?) that implemented collecting n-gram data from texts, and which generated random gibberish, but looking not only like the language in question but also the style (e.g., Joyce, Hemmingway, et al.). I think the original article was in the '79s, so the '80s one might have been an update.


Ceci n'est pas un seing.
