4.4.3 Patgen: Creating hyphenation patterns
-------------------------------------------

Patgen creates hyphenation patterns from dictionary files for use with
TeX. Synopsis:

     patgen DICTIONARY PATTERNS OUTPUT TRANSLATE

   Each argument is a filename. No path searching is done. The output is
written to the file OUTPUT.

   In addition, Patgen prompts interactively for other values.

   For more information, see `Word hy-phen-a-tion by com-puter' by
Frank Liang (Note: References), and also the `patgen.web' source file.

   The only options are `-help' and `-version' (Note: Common options).
