============
The following files are given in order:
 A) to verify TeX hyphenation on 500 french words.
 B) to provide a sample for testing your keyboard.
These tests have to be used after installation i.e. creation of the format
file.

These files were fully tested using MlTeX V2, Ml/TeX V3 with DC or CMR fonts. 

Here are the corresponding files for part A:
===========================================
TSIv5n4.tex   500 words hyphenated (Desarmenien's reference)
              This is a 7-bit file to transform to your 8-bit keyboard-screen.
 gencoup.tex  to hyphenate these words with TeX at your site (log file)
lgencoup.tex  "      "      "      "    "  LaTeX  "    "       "
 tstcoup.tex  to read the log file produced with TeX & compare with ideal list
ltstcoup.tex  "      "      "      "    "  LaTeX  "    "       "       " 
 testhyp      a shell script to do this with TeX
ltesthyp      "      "      "      "    "  LaTeX 

Operation:
 - convert TSIv5n4.tex to 8-bit accordingly to your own keyboard (use kb7to8 !)
 - run the l/testhyp procedure to look if your installation is ok at
   the hyphenation level. Any system with TeX-only i.e. without Multi-lingual
   modifications or without 8-bit fonts can't be called a french system and
   this test would be a non-sense.
   This script gives normally:
    either -  0 bad hyphenated words with MlTeX V3+CMR or TeX V3+DC fonts 
       or  - 22 with MlTeX V2+CMR (few of the 22 are yet okay). 
   No difference have to occur.

Here are the corresponding files for part B:
===========================================
kbtest.tex    the test code (8-bit file) to be adapted to your keyboard.

Operation:
 - update this file accordingly to your own keyboard and run it with your
   TeX engine. You will obtain a print sheet with a comparison of 7-bit and
   8-bit inputs.

Hope it helps,
