MacTravesty analyses how characters relate to each other in a sample text. More specifically, it will record the ocurrence of every sequence in the text with one to five characters. These sequences are quite typical for the language studied. A random text based on the character frequencies of English will therefore easily be recognized as English.
What is MacTravesty good for? You tell me  or ask a linguist 

MacTravesty was written several years ago in assembler, hence its speed and the small size of 28 kB! For the same reason it is rather unlikely that a PowerPC version will ever surface. It runs quite fast under emulation, however, a 30 kB text is processed in about 10 seconds.
