.TH PATGEN 1 8/8/90
.SH NAME
patgen - generate patterns for TeX hyphenation
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B patgen
dictionary_file pattern_file log_file
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.IR patgen program reads the
.I dictionary_file
and produces the
.IR pattern_file ,
writing a transcript of its actions on the
.IR log_file .
The
.I dictionary_file
should contain a list of hyphenated words and
previously-generated patterns.
.PP
The patterns thus generated can be read by
.I initex
for use in hyphenating words. For a (very) long example of
.IR patgen 's
output, see 
.BR @TEXINPUTDIR@/hyphen.tex , which contains the patterns TeX uses for
English. 
.PP
All filenames must be complete.  No adding of default
extensions or path searching is done.
.PP
.SH FILES
@TEXINPUTDIR@/hyphen.tex    Patterns for English.

technical report, available from the TeX Users Group. Howard Trickey
originally ported it to Unix.
