+ Babel Distribution Guide
+
+ 29 March 2005
+
+
+Welcome to the Babel system!
+
+This file contains the distribution guide for version 3.8 of the
+Babel system. The Babel system is distributed under the terms of
+the LaTeX Project Public License version 1.3 or later. A copy of
+the LPPL can be found in the LaTeX distribution.
+
+The Babel system supports multilingual typesetting.
+This version of the Babel system is compatible with LaTeX2e.
+Whenever the instructions talk about LaTeX, read LaTeX2e.
+
+This system is maintained by Johannes Braams in cooperation with
+various people around the world.
+
+The Babel system is described in:
+
+ * The LaTeX Companion 2nd edn., Mittelbach and Goossens et al, Addison-Wesley
+
+
+This distribution is described in the files ending with .txt. You
+should read install.txt before starting to install Babel.
+
+ * 00readme.txt is this file.
+
+ * changes.txt is a chronological list of the changes to babel
+
+ * install.txt describes how to install Babel.
+ * install.OzTeX-4 describes how to install Babel on a Mac with a
+ recent OzTeX distribution (4.0+).
+ * install.OzTeX-pre4 describes how to install Babel on a Mac with an
+ old OzTeX distribution (before 4.0).
+
+ * manifest.bbl lists all the files in the Babel distribution.
+
+ * bugs.txt describes how to submit a bug report for Babel.
+
+ * todo.txt lists a few things that haven't been done yet
+
+ * howtoget.txt lists the places where to get the Babel system and
+ other related software.
+
+You are not allowed to change the files in this distribution.
+
+If you want to add your own options to extend Babel with local
+language definitions you can do that by adding \DeclareOption
+statements to a configuration file, bblopt.cfg.
+
+If you like the babel system, please send me a postcard with a nice
+postage stamp for my collection!
+
+Please do not request updates from me. Distribution is done only
+through mail servers and TeX organisations.
+
+
+Please send bug reports to the LaTeX bug reporting address,
+latex-bugs@latex-project.org. Please read the file bugs.txt in this
+distribution and follow the guidelines.
+
+WARNINGS:
+---------
+- The file wnhyphen.tex (russian hyphenation pattern file) contains
+ changes of uppercase and lowercase codes. Amongst these is
+ \uccode`\~=`\^ which may lead to unexpected results when the ~
+ occurs in the argument of \uppercase
+
+Send any suggestions, additions, complaints, to me:
+e-mail: babel at braams.cistron.nl
+address: Kersengaarde 33
+ 2723 BP Zoetermeer
+ The Netherlands
+Note that I am more likely to respond to e-mail.
