Zusammenfassung:	A system of software and analysis was tested and good fits were obtained to quite large distributions. Its use was found to be sufficiently swift to make repeated modelling feasible. There were results of possible interest regarding the rates of change between adjacent ranks and the identification and contribution of a “core” literature. This approach should facilitate future comparisons among models with large data sets. © 1988 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
