34% 2005-05-30 (karl): in the past, ushyphmax.tex was a file containing
35% only the additional patterns, without the \patterns command, etc.
36% This turned out not to be very useful, since in practice the TeX
37% distributions need one self-contained file for a language.  Therefore,
38% ushyphmax.tex now contains both the additional patterns from
39% Dr. Kuiken, and the original patterns and hyphenations from Knuth's
40% hyphen.tex.
41%
42% The Plain TeX hyphenation tables.
