    Installation notes

        When you install the babel system you have first to decide whether
        you want to make a new format file. If you don't, you miss some
        of the functionality of the babel system, but you can then skip
        steps 2 through 5 . If you do want to build a new format,
        start with step 1.

        1 Make sure that you have the Docstrip (version 2) program
          available;  then run  the file install.babel through TeX.
          This strips all the .doc files of the comments and produces
          fast loadable versions of the files. It will tell that you
          have to move the resulting .sty (and .com, .hyphen and
          .switch) files into a directory where TeX can find them.
          Do that now.
          Docstrip also produces a file called babel.drv, you can use
          that to produce the documented source listing of the babel
          system. (Which is also provided as babel.dvi)

        2 Make sure that the iniTeX you are using has a sufficiently
          large trie_size and trie_op_size to be able to process all
          the hyphenation patterns that you wish to load into your
          format. If you can recompile TeX, do so (with enlarged
          parameters) if you need more then one or two languages.

        3 Before running iniTeX you should make sure that the standard
          file `hyphen.tex' has a different name. You could for
          instance rename it to UShyphen.tex, to indicate American
          English hyphenation patterns.

        4 Check the hyphenation patterns that you have available and
          want to load into the format. For each language that you
          want to hyphenate correctly you need a hyphenation pattern.
          List them all in the file `language.dat'. The file that is
          in the distribution serves as an example of what you have to
          put in there.

        5 Run iniTeX, telling it to load your favorite macro package.
          When it tries to read hyphen.tex it will tell you that the
          file can't be found and ask you for a different name. Enter
          `babel.hyphen' at this point.
          *Beware*: some implementations of TeX only look in the
          current directory when the \openin primitive is used. If
          your TeX does that you need to put the file `languages.dat'
          in the same directory where you build your format.
