GreeKTeX Ver 3.1 Distribution
-----------------------------

kd@doc.ic.ac.uk
What it is:
GreekTeX is a complete package for typesetting greek
(modern or ancient) texts within the framework of
plain TeX or LaTeX. It supplies a set of fonts based
on the excellent ones originally developed by
Sylvio Levi in the States and the modifications made
thereafter by Haralambous in France.
The approach adopted is different from both the
previous ones since it uses full 256 character fonts
and ligatures as the principal method of accenting
or "breathing" letters. This makes the macros more
robust and easier to use within TeX and LaTeX
environments.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Two different packages are included in this distribution. (Both
based on the same set of fonts).
* greektex : an extension of plain tex
* grlatex : an extension of LaTeX for greek texts.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What it Includes:
> a complete set of fonts (regular,bold,italic)
> for working with plain tex a file to be included
which will import the macros and fonts needed
to add greek texts within your normal documents
(greektex.tex)
> for working with an extension of plain tex
a set of macros allowing the usage of greek
within specific environments and hyphenation
patterns for the greek langugage. Choosing
to use this option will mean that you will develop
the formatting of your text by yourself.
(command greektex)
> for working with LaTeX a style option that allows
entering greek text within specific environments
(all standard latex command still work e.g. font
size changing). For typesetting texts mainly in
greek a new format file which combines the greek
enviroment with hyphenation patters and an optional
global greek mode.
(command grlatex)
> A set of utilities that allow the conversion of extended
ASCII greek ISO character files to a format understandable
by grektex and grlatex. (filter as C-source or emTeX filter
table for use with texconv)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Differnces from the Previous release
* Fixed font bugs in ligatures and added some more characters
according to suggestions by J"org Knappen (J"org, thanks for
your comments and fixes)
* Integrated Unix and Dos Release
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important Note:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you are building the greek extension of the LaTeX format
note that the old font coding scheme is used. The package -although it
will create a proper Format file- will not run properly under the
Mittelbach convention for font loading. In order to check
which on you have see your lfonts.tex file! (To make sure that
you do not have to retrieve the standard lfonts.tex I have included in
the latex directory -- please note the copyright notices for this file).
Hope you enjoy the package. Please send any comments or bug reports
to kd@doc.ic.ac.uk
