Anyone remember old-school "Grammatica"?

In the early days of windows there was a program called grammatica that would do the following:

Analyze your document for fleisch-kincaide readability levels
Give you percentages of active/passive voice
Show word usage counts (how many times you used "the", etc...)
It also offered, if I'm remembering, thesaurus, spelling, and grammar features that are now common across word processors.

I've googled, and found a program called grammatica that doesn't appear to be quite what I remember... Does anyone know of a similar document-analysis software package?

I have just the thing to sort out your manuscript, Deek:

I worked on Grammatica, and it was bought and renamed, and to save my life, I can't remember who bought it or what the name is.

There are a bunch now though--White Smoke is one.

I subscribe to Autocrit. It's an online editing wizard. It takes a lot of the drudgery out of your grammar editing. It even has a homonym finder, that highlights all those words the spell checkers miss..
