NAME
       hyphen_show - a program to look for hyphenations in a .dvi-file created by TeX/LaTeX

SYNTAX
       hyphen_show  [ -c fontencoding ]  texfilename[.dvi]  [ file_checked_hyphenations ]

DESCRIPTION
       hyphen_show is a program (written in C language) which looks for hyphenations in a .dvi-file created by TeX/LaTeX.

       As  there is no line structure in the .dvi-file, line breakings must be concluded from horizontal and vertical gaps.  There are constructs,
       where hyphenations cannot be found, and there are constructs, where we cannot extract correctly both fragments of an hyphenated word (espe-
       cially at end of page, because of following footers, footnotes, running title etc.)

       On  standard  output  you will find a list of hyphenations found  together with page numbers, both extracted from texfilename.dvi.  In file
       texfilename.hyp the user will find hyphenations only.

       Each hyphenation is included only at it's first occurence and only if it's not already found in file file_checked_hyphenations (if  such  a
       second file is specified at hyphen_show call).

       Files  texfilename.hyp and file_checked_hyphenations have the same structure and are simple text files, so the user can easily edit each of
       these files (especially delete lines with incorrect hyphenations) and append file texfilename.hyp to file file_checked_hyphenations e.g. by
       using cat command.

       Program	hyphen_show can be called as stand-alone program as described ahead; yet originally hyphen_show was written for use with xtem_TeX-
       Menu, where it is started automatically (depending on the user's settings) after each TeX run or where it can be started explicitely as	an
       xtem utility program.

DOCUMENTATION
       For the implementator a README is included in the package.

OPTIONS
       -c fontencoding
		 specifies  the  font encoding which is used in TeX (usepackage[fontencoding]{fontenc}).  At the moment the following font encod-
		 ings are available: T1 and OT1, i.e. fontencoding may get one of these values: T1 or OT1.  The default value is set  to  T1,  yet
		 can be adapted by the local implementation.

FILES
       texfilename.dvi
		 this file is scanned for hyphenations (must exist).

       file_checked_hyphenations
		 if specified, this file will be scanned for correct (`checked') hyphenations.

       texfilename.hyp
		 all  hyphenations found in texfilename.dvi and not included in file_checked_hyphenations up to now will be written into this file
		 (will be created/overwritten).
