This is actually a bug with the current release of 2e, and should be
fixed with the next patch level.  Any document which processes in the
OT1 encoding should also process in the T1 encoding.  Sorry about
this...

Subject: Announcing babel version 3.4 patch level 2

        Hello,

        On CTAN, in the directory macros/latex/packages/babel the
        latest version of babel, version 3.4 patch level 2 has been
        made available.
        This version contains a few patches to make the documentation
        run again, and to change language.dat to load only hyphen.tex
        bu default.
        The most important change is that the pattern loading code now
        checks if the pattern file set the values vor \left- and
        \righthyphenmin. If not defaults are provided. The values so
        found are stored in \extras<language>.
        The error messages have been rewritten to use the new LaTeX
        error interface when that is available.

        This has been available on CTAN for a while now, I just forgot
        to announce it.

        Happy TeXing,

        Johannes Braams

\section TeX Implementations for Small Computers

\subsection PC and Mac disks

    From January 1994 the UK TeX Users' Group is distributing an
    emTeX kit for PCs, and an OzTeX kit for Macintosh. The cost

    OzTeX.  Each set costs \pounds30, and is available from

    service **is available to UKTUG members only.**

    Each set comes with an installation guide, and (at least)

    CM fonts. Two update disks a year will be sent out
    automatically, with the current version of LaTeXe, and other
    goodies. A subscription service will be available for
    subsequent years. In addition, subscribers can request up to
    3 disks a year with any material from the CTAN archives, but
    this will be supplied `as is', without instructions.
