+# A Patgen tutorial from 1993, revisited 28 years later
+## Yannis Haralambous
+### Licensed with LPPL 1.3c
+### 1.1 2021/03/29
+
+This the revisited version of a document written in 1993, long before Unicode, the PDF format,
+the Web, the $n$-th Doctors (for n≥9), \eTeX, smartphones, emojis, fake news, COVID,
+and whatever makes the world we currently live in. As a tutorial, it was utterly _bad_:
+it was unclear, missed important information and focalized on (semi-private) jokes.
+I realized this fact in March 2021, when I tried to use Patgen again after decades of oblivion.
+Having re-discovered the use of Patgen, which is still as scarcely documented as it was in 1993,
+I decided to rewrite this tutorial hoping to succeed where I once failed. I ask in advance for
+your indulgence. Do not hesitate to contact me if parts of it are (still) obscure!
