Ibycus4, an upgrade of the Ibygrk Greek package

[mackay@cs.washington.edu (Pierre MacKay)]

The Ibycus4 package (the name is a intended as a tribute to David
Packard's Ibycus system, but this package has no connection with
any work done by the Packard Humanities Institute) is available
on osman.classics.washington.edu 
[128.95.170.63] in ~ftp/pub/tex, in 4 forms.
 
1. iby4str is a streamed SVR4 (Solaris) package, ready for installation
 
2, iby4str.gz is the same thing gzipped.  There doesn't seem to be any
way to zcat such a file and pipe it into pkgadd.  gunzip has to
be used as a separate operation/
 
3. ibycus4.tar.gz is a SVR4 (Solaris) package in spool directory format
if untarred into the directory /var/spool/pkg it is ready for pkgadd
 
4. ibycus4.zip is for non-Unix sites.  It includes all the genuine files
of Ibycus4 in an 8+3 TDS-conformant style, but not the symbolic links 
that make life pleasanter in the Unix world.
 
Changes in setwidths have been made, so spacing will be a bit different
(and better, I hope).  Some small improvements in input coding are
made (the 4 distinguishes the new input coding from the old 3 coding).
For other details see the README file.

Here is the relevant extract from the README file.  Ibycus3 is what 
was previously known as ibygrk.


        %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
        NOTE: THE FOLLOWING CODINGS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH IBYCUS3
        %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
        I have tried to keep incompatible codings to the minimum
        but the ibycus3 versions of the following were extremely
        undesirable.  These are all simplifications of ibycus3 coding.
        %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
        The mark of elision is ' or {'} (the form in braces may be
        needed to prevent ' from being read as an accent).
        Single quotes may be provided by ` {`} and ' {'}, (isolate them 
        in braces if necessary). Double quotes are `` {``} and
        '' {''} (isolate in braces if necessary).  < and > are the
        angle brackets used for conjectural supplements. 
        %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The prefix in Karl Berry's font-naming scheme is "fib".  The full
naming scheme is provided in the README file.
