+README for ttt (Tibetan Transcript Translator)
+==============================================
+
+IMPORTANT
+---------
+
+This Package only supplies the Tibetan Transcript Translator.
+You must have Sam Sirlin's font(*.mf), font metrics (*.tfm)
+and tibdef.tex installed! If you don't have Metafont or work
+on an old LaTeX version, follow the special instructions in
+INSTALL.HOW.
+
+Please look at ...
+
+ the remarks at the top of the c source code.
+ INSTALL.HOW
+ tttintro.*
+ The documentation supplied with the other two packages.
+
+
+FEATURES
+--------
+
+This program is able to typeset many syllables which originate from
+Sanskrit. Tables and inline LaTeX commands are also supported.
+You can import ACIP transcribed texts into LaTeX.
+Look at tttintro.* for further info.
+
+
+DISADVANTAGES
+-------------
+
+More complex command line.
+The vovels on tsa, tsha and dza are not specially handled and don't
+look as nice as in the other implementations. The same applies to
+cu and tsu, which are not confused any more. You will have to
+remove such workarounds from your texts.
+
+
+THANKS
+------
+
+to Jeff Sparkes and Sam Sirlin for their previous implementations,
+which supplied me the fonts and some good ideas for the ttt program.
