+
+Translit --- general transliteration program is available. It transliterates
+between different alphabet representations of different languages.
+
+It is frequently necessary to convert from one representation to another
+representation of the foreign alphabet. E.g., in the Library of Congress
+transliteration, the Russian letter sha is transliterated as two Latin
+letters "sh" while the popular word processors use a code 232 (decimal),
+the RELCOM network uses a code 221, and the KOI7 set uses character "["
+for the same letter. So if your screen driver, printer, word processor,
+etc. uses different codes than the text file which you have, you need to
+transliterate.
+
+The TRANSLIT program is a powerful tool for such tasks. It converts an input
+file in one representation to the output file in another representation using
+appropriate, user defined, transliteration table. Transliteration table allows
+for very elaborate transliteration tasks and includes provisions for plain
+character sequences, character lists, regular expressions (flexible matches),
+SHIFT-OUT/IN sequences and more. The program comes with documentation and
+examples of popular transliteration schemes. The Russian language serves
+as an example. Other files will be added with your collaboration.
+
+How to get the program?
+
+First, retrieve file: readme.doc --- it describes the files in the program
+distribution and has detailed instructions on how to obtain the program.
