+Overview
+--------
 This package provides a way of integrating the Ibycus font
-for polytonic Greek into the standard Babel language
-framework for LaTeX.  It provides for automatic hyphenation
-of Greek in the Ibycus encoding.
+for polytonic Greek and other fonts with the same encoding
+into the standard Babel language framework for LaTeX.  It
+provides for automatic hyphenation of Greek in the Ibycus
+encoding.
+
+
+What's new in version 3.0 ?
+---------------------------
+Use of alternative typefaces with Ibycus encoding is
+supported.  
+The hyphenation patterns (file ibyhyph.tex) were corrected
+to fix a bug regarding the use of "lunate sigmas".
+The macro code includes a workaround to avoid the bug
+babel/3796.
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+1) You must have installed the Ibycus fonts.  (The related
+macros are, however, not needed.)
+
+2) LaTeX must be based upon an eTeX program, rather than on 
+`ordinary' TeX.
+
+
+Installing the hyphenation patterns
+-----------------------------------
+The file ibyhyph.tex provides the hyphenation patterns for
+the Greek language with the particular encoding of the
+Ibycus fonts.  
+
+Store the file in a directory where LaTeX will find it.  To
+make LaTeX actually use it, edit the configuration file for
+the hyphenation patterns.  Most likely, the file has the
+name "language.dat" in your TeX system.  Add the following
+line to this file:
+
+ibycus         ibyhyph
+
+Thus, you establish a relation between the language name
+"ibycus" and the file name "ibyhyph.tex".  Update the
+filename database (if applicable) and create a new LaTeX
+format file, which will use the additional hyphenation
+patterns.  If you do not know how to do this, check the
+documentation of your TeX distribution, or consult the FAQ
+at http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=formatstymy
+
+ibyhyph.tex was generated from a set of Greek hyphenation
+patterns for LGR encoding, using the Perl script ibyhyph.pl
+and adding further patches affecting the processing of the
+"lunate sigma".  The script ibyhph.pl is part of the
+distribution for reference puposes only; it is not needed by
+the TeX system.
+
+| Since the pattern file has changed with version 3.0, 
+| you must update this file and re-make the LaTeX format, 
+| even if you have installed a previous release of the
+| Ibycus-Babel interface already.
+
+
+Installing the macro files
+--------------------------
+Store the documented source file ibycus-babel.dtx, the
+related installation script ibycus-babel.ins and the file
+ibyhyph.pl in an appropriate directory of your TeX system,
+e.g., in texmf/source/latex/ibycus-babel.
+
+In this directory, run the installation script
+ibycus-babel.ins through LaTeX:  
+
+  latex ibycus-babel.ins
+
+Doing so will create the following files:
+
+  ibycus.ldf
+  lgifib.fd
+  lgienc.def
+ 
+Move them to a directory, where LaTeX can find them, e.g.,
+texmf/tex/latex/ibycus-babel.
+
+| If you have installed the previous version 1.5, remove
+| ibycus.ldf from the directory texmf/tex/generic/babel,
+| where it used to be installed automatically.
+
+Finally, update the filename database (if applicable).
+
+
+Documentation 
+-------------
+Use of the Ibycus-babel interface is described in the
+document ibycus-babel.pdf.  Store it in an appropriate
+directory of your TeX system.
+
+
+Testing
+-------
+Compile the file ibycus-babel-test.tex.  Examine the printed 
+result, and check the list of possible hyphenation points in 
+the log file.  You can see if these match those given in the 
+comments in the source of ibycus-babel-test.tex, near the
+end of the file.
 
-You must obtain and install the Ibycus font separately.  See
-the file install.txt for further details on installing this
-package.
