hello,I've used groff for some years now together with a copy of ghyph31.tex where I commented out everything with "%" except the pattern block. this seemed to work reasonably.
now, after upgrading to groff 1.18.1 (same thing with 1.19) under MacOS X (1.18.1 as part of OS upgrade), formatting goes into an endless loop at 100% cpu when using this old hpf-file.
is this related to occurence of things like \n{f"a1c}in the pattern block (I found a remark in the docu that braces are not allowd in the pattern block)? I have no knowledge of tex whatsoever, but I guess this are patterns containing german umlaut characters?
I replaced the old file by "dehyph[nt].tex" but without avail (these are silently ignored (no hyphenation in the output)).
question: is there a canonical way to transform the original tex hyphenation pattern files to groff compatible versions without knowing how to do macro expansion and the like in the tex files? is there a awk or perl script around to do so? or are groff compatible hyphenation pattern files (except for us english) somewhere around (I did'nt find any)?
thanks joerg
