[comp.text.tex] Problems with TeX3.0 and french hyphenation table

I'm posting this message for the second time. It seems it didn't get
through one of our gateway last time. I apologize if you have already
read it.


I'm trying to set up TeX 3.0 to work with a french hyphenation table
(I had no problem building TeX3.0 with the standard plain.tex format).
I found in my distribution tape three file called masthyph.tex, 
frhyph.tex and enhyph.tex and an other file called mlplain.tex

I ran initex with mlplain.tex and I got the following messages:

This is TeX, C Version 3.0 (INITEX)  11 FEB 1991 21:55

If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.

No pages of output.

These are the first lines of the faulty(?) frhyph.tex file:
\begingroup
\accenthyphcodes\spechyphcodes % changes the \' ... etc 
\lccode`\'=`\'
\lccode'33='33 %\oe ... both needed in 
\lccode'20='20 % \i .. dotless i 
\patterns{
<.................. stuff deleted................>
1be
1b\'e
1b\`e
1b\^e
<....................other stuff deleted ...............>
--------------------------------------------------------------------
So it looks like TeX3.0 has problems with sequences like
1b\'e
1b\`e
1b\^e


I tried to find an answer by myself but I could see no relevant answer in 
the TeX book or in the LaTeX book (Note : I have old editions about TeX82
only).

Any help would be greatly appeciated.

Thanks in advance.
