DISCAN was a tool for content and discourse analysis originally available for mainframe computers, and adapted for PCs with DOS 3.0 in 1991. It accepted ASCII files, could create KWIC and co-occurrence listings, and had modules for both creating content analysis dictionaries and performing content analysis.
