%% Laurent Siebenmann, December 1993
%% Master posting 1993-4:
%% ftp matups.matups.fr, directory TeX/TypingTeX.dir
%% This file is 7bit ascii.
%% This file is NOT autonomous, since it uses the
%% coding-independant hyphenation file
%% fr8hyph.src as source of the patterns.
%%
%% Sets up the universal 8bit French hyphenation patterns
%% of fr8hyph.src for use with (output) font systems
%% using the Mac font encoding in the range 128-255
%% and the CM encoding in the range 0-127.
%% The only examples available in 1993 are the Textures
%% Adobe font series of Textures version 1.6x.
%% Characters of Mac the 128-255 range that appear in the
%% CM 0-127 range are omitted.
%% HEALTH WARNING: This encoding is a curious new mixture.
%% There are alternatives offering
%% more fonts and more support, notably
%% the Cork-extended CM encoding (Cork encoding rather
%% than Mac in the range 128-255). And the full
%% Cork encoding. See "format-dumper" in versions -CM and -CK
%% The main advantage of this encoding over the alternatives
%% is its inclusion of various glyphs such as
%% daggerdbl paragraph cent Yen ...
%% SIMPLEST USE (with Plain TeX). Put copies of plain.tex,
%% fr8hyph.mac and fr8hyph.src together in a Mac
%% directory. Rename fr8hyph.mac as hyphen.tex.
%% Compile plain.tex using the Textures virtex (initex)
%% and, when asked, type the command \dump. Save the
%% resulting format file in the directory "TeX formats".
%% If you quit and restart Textures (or use the "add format"
%% command) the new format will be available.
%% Under this format, the default hyphenation system will
%% be French and you can directly type eight-bit characters
%% (without inputing the file option.keys) --- provided you use
%% only the fonts of the Adobe series of Textures >=1.62.
%% The grouping around the the body of the file
%% to follow assures that the net change induced
%% is to the hyphenation trie only.
