+Package: begingreek version 1.6 of 2022/05/06
+Copyright 2015-2022 Claudio Beccari
+Licence: LaTeX Project Public Licence LPPL v.1.3 (or later)
+
+This work has the LPPL maintenance status "author-maintained".
+
+This work consists of the following files
+ begingreek.dtx
+ README.txt
+
+The files derived from the work are the following:
+
+ begingreek.sty
+ begingreek.pdf
+
+The begingreek.dtx file is self extracting and self documenting; if you run
+pdflatex on it you get at the same time the .sty file besides and the
+English documented .pdf file.
+
+This little package (module) contains the definition of the environment
+greek and the command \greektxt to typeset Greek text with pdfLaTeX
+only. In a certain way the environment greek mimics the homonymous
+environment defined by polyglossia (to be used with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX).
+
+This module must be loaded after the babel package and after the babel
+option greek has been specified either directly to the babel package,
+or among the class options.
+
+Both the environment and the command accept an optional argument useful
+to choose a Greek font family among those that are available for LGR
+encoded real or virtual fonts. This module perform the necessary checks
+in order to control that the NFSS font file .fd does actually exist.
+
+The documentation file shows several examples and, in particular, some
+specimens of most, if not all, LGR encoded Greek font families available
+with TeX Live.
+
+By running pdfLaTeX on the begingreek.dtx file, both the .sty file
+and the PDF documentation are generated.
+
+It is suggested that the various files are stored in the following folders:
+the .dtx file, in .../source/latex/begingreek/
+the .pdf and the README.txt file in .../doc/latex/begingreek/
+the .sty file in .../tex/latex/begingreek/
