Requirements
------------
1) You must have installed the Ibycus fonts,  (The related
macros are, however, not needed.)

2) LaTeX must be based upon an eTeX program, rather than on 
`ordinary' TeX.


Hyphenation patterns
--------------------
The file ibyhyph.tex provides the hyphenation patterns for
the Greek language with the particular encoding of the
Ibycus fonts.  

Store the file in a directory where LaTeX will find it.  To
make LaTeX actually use it, edit the configuration file for
the hyphenation patterns.  Most likely, the file has the
name "language.dat" in your TeX system.  Add the following
line to this file:

ibycus         ibyhyph

Thus, you establish a relation between the language name
"ibycus" and the file name "ibyhyph.tex".  Update the
filename database (if applicable) and create a new LaTeX
format file, which will use the additional hyphenation
patterns.  If you do not know how to do this, check the
documentation of your TeX distribution, or consult the FAQ
at http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=formatstymy

ibyhyph.tex was generated from a set of Greek hyphenation
patterns for LGR encoding through the Perl script
ibyhyph.pl, which is also part of the distribution.

| We recommend to update the hyphenation file and re-make
| the LaTeX format, even if you have installed release 1.5
| of the Ibycus-Babel interface already.  Rationale:  The
| pattern file has been improved so as to auto-detect eTeX.


Macro files
-----------
Store the documented source file ibycus-latex.dtx, the
related installation script ibycus-latex.ins and the Perl
script ibyhyph.pl in an appropriate directory of your TeX
system, e.g., in texmf/source/latex/ibycus-babel.

In this directory, run the installation script
ibycus-latex.ins through LaTeX:  

  latex ibycus-babel.ins

Doing so will create the files ibycus.ldf and ufib.fd.

Move the files ibycus.ldf and ufib.fd to a directory, where
LaTeX can find them, e.g., texmf/tex/latex/ibycus-babel.

| If you have installed the previous version 1.5, remove the
| ibycus.ldf from the directory texmf/tex/generic/babel,
| where it used to be installed automatically.

Finally, update the filename database (if applicable).


Documentation 
-------------
Use of the Ibycus-babel interface is described in the 
document ibycus-babel.pdf.  Store it in an appropriate 
directory of your TeX system.


Testing
-------
Compile the file ibycus-babel-test.tex.  Examine the printed 
result, and check the list of possible hyphenation points in 
the log file.  You can see if these match those given in the 
comments in the source of ibycus-babel-test.tex, near the
end of the file.
