+[[The UnicodeData-Latest.txt file has NOT (yet) been updated for the Ethiopic
+additions. You will lose the Ethiopic *.pl files if you run 'make clean' in
+./lib/unicode. --GSAR]]
+
+This package contains extensions to the property files generated from the
+UnicodeData-Latest.txt file. The UnicodeData file comes from the Unicode
+organization's ftp site and has not been included with modifications here.
+Updates for Ethiopic script to the UnicodeData file under the Unicode 3.0
+specification is being discussed at this time with the responsible parties
+within Unicode.
+
+"MakeEthiopicSyllables.PL" will create the series Is/Y0.pl .. Is/Y13.pl
+files to match the sYllabic class of an Ethiopic character. These tests
+may be extended to other syllabaries as well.
+
+The author would appreciate comments and suggestions on this effort:
