+Babel installation guide for the Mac with OzTeX.
+These instructions apply for OzTeX versions 2.1 as well as 3.0.
+Filedate: April 30, 1999
+
+(Originally provided by Jan Geenen, <geenenjw@cobweb.nl> for OzTeX 1.9;
+ updated for 2.1 by Giuseppe P. Cavarretta, <gc@gea.geo.uniroma1.it>)
+
+ 1. To create a workable babel package, first create a folder named Babel
+ and put it in the TeX-inputs folder; in this new folder you must
+ download from a CTAN site the following files:
+ a. babel.dtx
+ b. babel.ins
+ c. language.dat
+ d. <language>.dtx; For every <language> you want to use in your
+ documents, ie. dutch.dtx, english.dtx, etc.
+ e. hyphenation files; You need these for every language for which
+ you want to produce the right hyphenation.
+ ie. nehyph2.tex.
+ f. bbidxglo.dtx
+ g. documentation files. 00readme, install.txt, tb-article.tex, etc,
+ see manifest.txt
+
+ If you are in doubt, you have much hard-disk space and low-cost
+ connection to the internet, get the entire babel directory (a good
+ practice anyway). Remember that the hyphenation files, i.e. ithyph.tex
+ or nehyph.tex, are not included in the babel package; you have to
+ get them from ctan/tex-archive/language/<your_language>.
+
+ 2. Read the documentation:
+ a. install.txt
+ b. 00readme
+ c. OzTeX User Guide version 2.1
+
+ 3. Check your files if they obey the Mac-conventions for end of line.
+ If not, then edit them and save as same with the option LF Macintosh.
+ If you got them by dowloading directly from CTAN into the Mac they
+ should be OK.
+
+ 4. Open the file language.dat and for every language that you will
+ hyphenate make an entrance, for example:
+
+ % Any comment you like
+ dutch nehyph2.tex %nederlands
+ latin lahyph.tex %latin
+ english hyphen.tex %english
+
+ 5. Put the file nehyph.tex (and/or whateverhyph.tex) in the folder Plain.
+
+ 6. TeX the file babel.ins. A lot of files will be generated !
+ Eventually, delete those related to languages that you think you
+ will never use (never say never !). The following files should be
+ produced by this:
+ a. babel.sty
+ b. babel.def
+ c. switch.def
+ d. hyphen.cfg
+ e. plain.def
+ f. For all the languages for which you downloaded a .dtx-file the
+ run will produce a .ldf-file and a .sty-file.
+ If you didn't download them all, the installation process will
+ stop, telling you it can't find a .dtx-file; after the prompt
+ type: r and hit the Return-key. The install program will resume
+ ie. dutch.dtx gives dutch.ldf and dutch.sty
+ g. the bbind.ist and bbglo.ist files are for printing the
+ documentation.
+
+ 7. The install-run ends with these remarks:
+ a. To finish the installation you have to move all the files with
+ names ending in .ldf, .sty, .def or.fd into a directory
+ searched by TeX.
+ Action: If you hadn't done it before, create a new folder, call it
+ Babel and put in the files ending with the mentioned suffixes.
+ Drag and drop the Babel-folder into the TeX-inputs-folder.
+ b. For making a format the following files have to be in a
+ directory which is searched by Initex: hypen.cfg, language.dat
+ and files with the hyphenation patterns.
+ Action: Create a new folder, call it InitexBabel and put in it the
+ recommended files. Drag and drop the InitexBabel folder into
+ the TeX-inputs folder.
+ The language.sty files which you do not need throw them in the
+ thrashcan.
+
+ 8. The goal is to generate a new latex-format file. To gain some
+ experience in generating such a format file use only one
+ hyphenation by disableing the others by putting in front of every
+ line a %-sign in the file language.dat. Relax, if you follow the
+ instructions listed here it should work immediately. You may get
+ an out of memory error during format building when you trie to
+ load many languages: if this happens, try to increase the
+ trie_size in the file Configs:Default. After that, run INITeX
+ anew.
+
+ 9. Disable the file hyphen.ltx by adding a %-sign in front of the filename.
+ :TeX-inputs:LaTeX:hyphen.ltx.
+ (LaTeX will search for another. cfg file)
+
+ 8. Choose in the TeX menu LaTeX
+
+ 9. Choose in the TeX-menu INITEX and after the two ** type
+ latex.ltx and push the <return> button. You will readily notice if
+ the hyphenation files you selected have been used.
+ You will now be asked into which folder you want to save the new
+ format file you created: choose the folder TeX-formats.
+ Rename the new format file from latex.fmt to LaTeX.fmt;
+ this will overwrite the pre-existing LaTeX.fmt.
+ If you wish to keep the original LaTeX.fmt file,
+ choose a different name or rename the pre-existing LaTeX.fmt to
+ whatever_name.fmt you like. Remember that if you want to use format
+ files having new names, you must add such new names into the file
+ Configs:Default as follows:
+
+ format_files = LaTeX AMSTeX Plain Your_new_format
+
+10. Start using babel.
+ a. Put the command \usepackage[your language]{babel} in the
+ preamble of your production file product.tex
+ b. TeX product.tex
+
+Good luck!
