Babel Distribution Guide

                            30 June 1994


Welcome to the Babel system!

This file contains the distribution guide for version 3.4 patch level 1
of the Babel system which supports multilingual typesetting.
This version of the Babel system is compatible with LaTeX2e.
Whenever the instructions talk about LaTeX, read LaTeX2e.

**Note that the files from the babel system currently may produce
**unexpected results when you use T1 output encoding. This problem
**will be solved in a future version of the babel system

This system is maintained by Johannes Braams in cooperation with
various people around Europe.

The Babel system is described in:

 * The LaTeX Companion, Goossens; Mittelbach and Samarin, Addison-Wesley


This distribution is described in the files ending with .txt.  You
should read install.txt before starting to install Babel.

 * 00readme.txt is this file.

 * install.txt describes how to install Babel.

 * manifest.txt lists all the files in the Babel distribution.

 * bugs.txt describes how to submit a bug report for Babel.
