Clear all scores and passages from the summarizer. Implemented in BasicSumm, and MMRSumm.

virtual int Summarizer::fetchPassages (  Passage *    psgs, int    optLen )  [pure virtual]

Place marked passages into an array. Implemented in BasicSumm, and MMRSumm.

virtual void Summarizer::iterClear (  void    )  [pure virtual]

Reset to the first summarized passage (in conjunction with nextPassage). Implemented in BasicSumm, and MMRSumm.

virtual void Summarizer::markPassages (  int    optLen, char *    qInfo )  [pure virtual]

Flag optLen passages for inclusion in summary. Implemented in BasicSumm, and MMRSumm.
