+.TH GRLATEX "7 Dec 1992"
+.SH NAME
+grlatex \- tex formatting and typesetting (greek option)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B grlatex
+[options] [filename]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I grlatex
+is part of the
+.B GreekTeX
+package for typesetting greek texts under the TeX typesetting system.
+.I grlatex
+is an extension of the LaTeX macro package for
+the TeX mathematical typesetting package. The extension
+consists of a new set of language dependent macros,
+a set of hyphenation patterns for the greek language,
+and a set of macro development tools for the greek languge.
+.PP
+.I grlatex
+can be used instead of the latex package to typeset
+any source file written for the LaTeX macro package. In addition
+a special greek environment is defined inside which latin
+characters correspond to greek ones according to the scheme
+.PP
+.B a b g
+.B d e z
+.B h j i k l m
+.B n x o p r s
+.B t u f q y w
+.B and c (final s)
+.PP
+In order to get accents and breathing use ',`,~,>,< before any
+vowel. For those typesetting ancient greek texts iota subscript
+can be generated by placing the character | after the vowel to
+recive the subscript.
+.PP
+The greek environment is created by the command
+.PP
+ \\begin{greektext}
+.PP
+and ends by
+.PP
+ \\end{greektext}.
+.PP
+Inside the greek environment the font families available are:
+.RS
+.TP
+ \\gr Classic Greek
+.TP
+ \\grbf Boldface Greek
+.TP
+ \\grsl Slanted Greek
+.TP
+ \\grit Greek Italics
+.TP
+ \\grtt Typewritter Greek
+.RE
+.LP
+Note that all the font scaling commands will affect the greek
+characters as well. Nevertheless if the font size is changed
+inside the environment, the effects are only local.
+
+.SH "STYLE FILES"
+
+Special style files exist for writting texts in greek language.
+The names of the style files are derived from the latex ones
+by preciding them with the suffix `gr' (e.g. grarticle.sty)
+Any such style causes latex to enter a permenent greek environment.
+The original latin (global) environment is locally available
+through the commands \\begin and \\end {latin}.
+Note that the roman font families are normally accesed in the
+standard way e.g. {\\rm Latin Word}. Beware the difference in
+certain symbols; all the accentuation symbols are concidered
+as letters (catcode 11).
+
+.SH "MACRO DEVELOPMENT"
+
+If you are interested in creating macros while in greek mode
+try to remember that certain symbols need to be replaced by more
+general control sequences:
+.RS
+.TP
+ $ ---> \\ m@thm@de
+.TP
+ > ---> \\ gt (greater than)
+.TP
+ < ---> \\ lt (less than)
+.RE
+.LP

+.BR latex(1),
+.BR greektex(1).

+.SH FILES
+For more information on macro development under the package
+see the extensive discussion in the comments of the macro
+files: lgreek.tex, grfonts.tex, greek.sty, gr*.sty
+
+.SH "AUTHOR"
+ The
+.B GREEKTeX
+package was developed partly from
+ideas of Sylvio Levy and Haralambous by K J Dryllerakis
