I've installed TeX3.0 now on our system. But I couldn't read anywhere about the changes. I heard about the \language command to change hyphenation tables, but how have I to include different hyphenation tables in plain.tex? And I heard about something about 8 bit. What can I do with it? Could somebody please explain that in a FEW words. Thanx Michael Janich, Uni Paderborn, United Germany -- Michael Janich, Uni Paderborn, United Germany

Changes have been incorporated in the new editions of the TeX book. Also Tugboat gives the incremental changes between versions. > I heard about the \language command to change hyphenation tables, >but how have I to include different hyphenation tables in plain.tex? Hyphenation tables can only be incorporated when you are running IniTeX, so you could for instance doing that by \input-ing different hyphen.tex files. Pattersn read hold for the language that is the current value of \langauge. >And I heard about something about 8 bit. What can I do with it? Not much. You can now have 8-bit input characters, but there are not many applications of that yet. Victor.
