Changes in MonTeX

       and A. Samarin's work implemented


Implementation Level II

Version 02.01

Summer/Fall 1998: The complete Cyrillic setup was
       completely overhauled since the first attempt
       was more or less broken.

Implementation Level IIa

Version 02.02

January 1999: Lots of new ideas, such as -

         can be chosen with [buryat] as an option to mls

       - Mongolian classical writing can be put in
         vertical capsules within horizontal text,

       - a simple retransliteration engine is installed
         which accepts romanized input and combines
         the correct presentation glyphs.

       - Mongolian bicig glyphs overhauled where necessary.


Version 02.03

February 1999: minor nasty bugs removed, and -

       - \PrettyMLS introduced which makes a nice gamma
         out of G, regains umlauts, etc., shows special symbols
         if needed.

       - Documentation now complete with alphabetical
         command reference.
