subj(1)                                                   subj(1)



NAME
     subj - generates a list of subjects from documents

SYNOPSIS
     subj file...

ARGUMENTS
     file Specifies the file that is to be searched for subjects.

DESCRIPTION
     subj searches files for subjects that might be appropriate
     in a subject-page index and prints the list of subjects on
     the standard output.  The document should contain formatting
     commands (from nroff, troff, and mm among others) to make
     the best use of subj.

WARNINGS
     subj selects sequences of capitalized words as subjects
     except the first word in each sentence.  Thus, if a sentence
     begins with a proper noun, the capitalization rule will not
     select this word as a subject.  On the other hand, since
     each sentence is expected to begin on a newline, the first
     word of a sentence that begins in the middle of a line may
     be erroneously selected.

     The output of subj may not be appropriate for your needs and
     should be edited accordingly.

LIMITATIONS
     The subj program also selects as subjects modifier-noun
     sequences from the abstract, headings, and topic sentences
     (the first sentence in each paragraph), and occasionally a
     word is incorrectly categorized as a noun or adjective.
