+Patgen takes a list of hyphenated words and generates a set of
+patterns that can be used by the \TeX 82 hyphenation algorithm.
+The program is released to the public domain (as is this README file).
+
+Patgen was originally written by Frank M. Liang as part of his
+Stanford Ph.D. work, and has always been distributed alongside the
+other programs coming from the Stanford TeX project. It was updated in
+1991 by Peter Breitenlohner for the new 8-bit features of TeX version 3.
+(These updates related to input/output and programming overhead; the
+actual pattern generation algorithms were not changed.)
+
+Patgen is currently maintained as part of TeX Live (https://tug.org/texlive).
