2) Installation
Copy the class files into a subdirectory called "greekconverter" (be sure to
match case - all characters must be lowercase!). To execute the class files you
need Sun's Java runtime environment v. 1.2 or higher.

3) Usage
If you want to convert a file you can use the command line tool GreekFileConverter
or use the simple GUI interface Nereus.

To invoke the first one, go to the directory where the greekconverter subdirectory
resides, then enter on the command line:
java greekconverter.GreekFileConverter source_file destination_file conversion_mode
[-inputenc value] [-outputenc value]
To get a short explanation about the parameters type
java greekconverter.GreekFileConverter -?
For an example look at the author's homepage (link at the end of this file).

The GUI interface is self-explaining. Error messages are displayed at
the console window. Have a look at it! To invoke it, go to the directory
where the greekconverter subdirectory resides and type:
java greekconverter.Nereus

(java is the program name of Sun's Java interpreter.)
