This directory contains seven files + README, licensed all but one under lppl 1.3: glpatter-utf8.tex: The source file, version 2.4. When processed under the program mkpatter ---by typing 'tex -ini -8bit glpatter-utf8.tex' (without the quotes) at the command line, provided you have the utility mkpattern installed--- it generates the file hyph-utf8-gl.tex. (hyph-gl.tex): The generated file containing the patterns in UTF-8 (belongs to TEXMF/tex). glhyextr.tex: ##This file is in the public domain## A configuration file, to include additional patterns other than the ones in glpatter-utf8.tex. It is not \input by glpatter-utf8.tex (iin contrast with the single-byte encoded version glpatter.tex) as modern tools allow the addition of patterns at run time. glhybiox.tex, glhymed.tex, glhyquim.tex, glhytec.tex & glhyxeog.tex: Files with aditional patterns drawn from serveral fields of the language, so that you may input them from glhyextr.tex. The files for specific patterns are very incomplete and feedback is welcome. --Javier A. Múgica
