   The files in this directory contain code for implementing lexical 
   analysis and stop word removal for automatic indexing and query
   processing.  This directory should contain the following files:

   makefile      Builds object code and test drivers

   stop.wrd      A list of 429 stop words used for testing
   testfile      A short text used as data for testing

   stop.c        Code building and running lexical analyzers that stops words
   stop.h        Header for the lexical analyzer module
   strlist.c     Code for a utility package for handling lists of strings
   strlist.h     Header for the string list utility module
   stopper.c     A test program

   Detailed information about the implementation and how to use it can 
   be found in the Makefile and the various source code files.
