The .I dictionary_file should contain a list of hyphenated words and previously-generated patterns. .PP The patterns thus generated can be read by .B initex for use in hyphenating words. For a (very) long example of .IR patgen 's output, see .IR @hyphen@ , which contains the patterns \*(TX uses for English. At some sites, patterns for several other languages may be available, and the local .B tex programs may have them preloaded; consult your .I Local Guide or your system administrator for details. .PP All filenames must be complete; no adding of default extensions or path searching is done. .PP .\"===================================================================== .SH FILES .TP \w'@hyphen@'u+2n .I @hyphen@ Patterns for English. .\"===================================================================== .SH "SEE ALSO" Frank Liang, .IR "Word hy-phen-a-tion by com-puter" , STAN-CS-83-977, Stanford University Ph.D. thesis, 1983. .br Donald E.

Peter Breitenlohner made a substantial revision in 1991 for \*(TX 3. The first version was published as the appendix to the .I \*(OXware technical report, available from the \*(TX Users Group. Howard Trickey originally ported it to Unix.
