+File name: README
+Version: 4.0
+Author: Dimitrios Filippou
+Date: Aug. 16, 2004
+
+This file contains a brief description of the Greek hyphenation-
+pattern files for TeX/LaTeX (and for Omega) prepared by Dimitrios
+Filippou.
+
+The patterns were originally designed for the "greek" option of
+"babel" and Dryllerakis' GreeKTeX package. However, this set can
+be used to produce hyphenation patterns for typesetting Greek with
+the "ibycus" option of "babel" (package "ibycus-babel") or with
+Omega/lambda (package "antomega").
+
+The hyphenation patterns for "ibycus" (for ancient Greek *only*)
+can be produced by running a perl script on "grahyph.tex". The
+perl script has been written by Peter Heslin (p.j.heslin@dur.ac.uk)
+as part of his "ibycus-babel" package.
+
+The hyphenation patterns for Omega/lambda (files "ogr*.tex") can be
+produced by running a perl script on "grahyph.tex", "grahyph.tex"
+and "grahyph.tex". The perl script has been written by Apostolos
+Syropoulos (apostolo@obelix.ee.duth.gr) as part of the "antomega"
+package. THESE PATTERNS HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED. ANY FEEDBACK IS
+WELCOME!
+
+This package supersedes all previous versions found in CTAN. A more
+detailed description of how hyphenation of Greek works (in English)
+is presented in the TUG2004 conference and is included in the
+conference proceedings (to be published by Springer in the series
+Lecture Notes in Computer Science).
+
+Possible caveats:
+
+1) You may not get proper hyphenation in paragraphs with mixed
+Greek and non-Greek text. This is a known TeX problem. Using eTeX
+(or the latest LaTeX releases which are based on eTeX) can resolve
+this problem. -- Bug reported by Peter Heslin (p.j.heslin@dur.ac.uk)
+
+2) Initial accentuated vowels may not be hyphenated under Omega/
+lambda: e.g., under Omega/lambda, the word ">aet'oc" (eagle) may be
+be hyphenated as ">ae-t'oc" instead of ">a-e-t'oc". To fix this
+problem I must add an extra series of hyphenation patterns in the
+original "gr?hyph.tex" and then convert them to "ogr?hyph.tex". But
+this way I would mess my original "gr?hyph.tex" and I don't want to
+do that. -- Bug reported by Alexej Krioukov (akrioukov@newmail.ru)
