+ GreeKTeX Ver 3.1 Distribution
+ -----------------------------

+ Imperial College,London
+ kd@doc.ic.ac.uk
+
+What it is:
+ GreekTeX is a complete package for typesetting greek
+ (modern or ancient) texts within the framework of
+ plain TeX or LaTeX. It supplies a set of fonts based
+ on the excellent ones originally developed by
+ Sylvio Levi in the States and the modifications made
+ thereafter by Haralambous in France.
+ The approach adopted is different from both the
+ previous ones since it uses full 256 character fonts
+ and ligatures as the principal method of accenting
+ or "breathing" letters. This makes the macros more
+ robust and easier to use within TeX and LaTeX
+ environments.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Note: Two different packages are included in this distribution. (Both
+ based on the same set of fonts).
+ * greektex : an extension of plain tex
+ * grlatex : an extension of LaTeX for greek texts.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+What it Includes:
+ > a complete set of fonts (regular,bold,italic)
+ > for working with plain tex a file to be included
+ which will import the macros and fonts needed
+ to add greek texts within your normal documents
+ (greektex.tex)
+ > for working with an extension of plain tex
+ a set of macros allowing the usage of greek
+ within specific environments and hyphenation
+ patterns for the greek langugage. Choosing
+ to use this option will mean that you will develop
+ the formatting of your text by yourself.
+ (command greektex)
+ > for working with LaTeX a style option that allows
+ entering greek text within specific environments
+ (all standard latex command still work e.g. font
+ size changing). For typesetting texts mainly in
+ greek a new format file which combines the greek
+ enviroment with hyphenation patters and an optional
+ global greek mode.
+ (command grlatex)
+ > A set of utilities that allow the conversion of extended
+ ASCII greek ISO character files to a format understandable
+ by grektex and grlatex. (filter as C-source or emTeX filter
+ table for use with texconv)

+Differnces from the Previous release
+ * Fixed font bugs in ligatures and added some more characters
+ according to suggestions by J"org Knappen (J"org, thanks for
+ your comments and fixes)
+ * Integrated Unix and Dos Release
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Important Note:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+ If you are building the greek extension of the LaTeX format
+note that the old font coding scheme is used. The package -although it
+will create a proper Format file- will not run properly under the
+Mittelbach convention for font loading. In order to check
+which on you have see your lfonts.tex file! (To make sure that
+you do not have to retrieve the standard lfonts.tex I have included in
+the latex directory -- please note the copyright notices for this file).
+
+
+Hope you enjoy the package. Please send any comments or bug reports
+to kd@doc.ic.ac.uk
