+ Babel Distribution Guide
+
+ 29 March 2005
+
+
+This file gives you some information as to where to get the latest
+version of Babel and other related software.
+
+The main distribution of Babel is done through the Comprehensive TeX
+Archive Network (CTAN). The main CTAN hosts are:
+ ftp://ftp.dante.de/
+ ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/
+In order to reduce network load, it is recommended that you use the
+CTAN host or mirror which is located in the closest proximity to your
+site. See /tex-archive/CTAN.sites for a list of CTAN mirrors.
+
+You can find the latest version of Babel in:
+ /tex-archive/macros/latex/required/babel/
+
+Hyphenation pattern files are not normally part of the Babel distribution.
+You can find hyphenation pattern files on CTAN, in the directory:
+ /tex-archive/language/hyphenation/
+
+OTHER RELATED PACKAGES
+For the french language Benard Gaulle distributes his french package.
+It provides extensive support for typesetting french documents.
+
+For the german language Bernd Raichle maintains `German-Style'. It is
+located in:
+ /tex-archive/language/german/
+
+In one of the directories below /tex-archive/language you can
+sometimes find support for languages not (yet) supported by Babel.
