-                TRANSLITERATING GREEK into ASCII
-
-     B-Greek has from the beginning allowed every poster to use
-any scheme he/she found comfortable, since we all could usually
-figure out what text was meant.     For those who wish some
-guidance, a generally accepted scheme has evolved on the List,
-with two or three matters still not fully settled.
-
-(1) CAPITALS are used when transliterating Greek letters, on a
-one-to-one basis, reserving lower-case {i} to represent
-iota-subscript and lower-case {h} to represent rough breathing.
-No accents, no smooth breathings.  And no distinction between
-medial and final Sigma.
-
-(2) If accents are really necessary, to distinguish otherwise
-identical words, acute is represented by {/}, grave by {\}, and
-circumflex either by tilde {~ [preferable]} or {=} -- always
-AFTER the vowel over which it would be written.
-
-(3) A few characters without Roman single-character form are
-usually done with almost-look-alike Roman characters otherwise
-unused:
-
-     Theta = Q
-     Eta   = H
-     Psi   = Y    (upsilon is always U)
-     Omega = W
-
-(4) Digraphs (in the usual Roman transliteration) are handled in
-three different ways to avoid two-letter transliterations, all
-involving otherwise-unused Roman letters:
-
-     THeta uses Q ("look-alike", as above).
-     PSi   uses Y ("look-alike", as above).
-     PHi   uses F (sound equivalence).
-     CHi   uses C (first letter of traditional digraph).
-
-(5) Xi and Chi:  There being no single Roman letter for "Xi"
-other than X, the "look-alike" use of X for "Chi" is confusing,
-though some use it.  And some seem to like to use C for "Sigma."
-Since S is otherwise unused, and poses no confusion whatever,
-using C for "Sigma" makes for problems in decoding back to Greek,
-especially since it is the only letter available for "Chi"
-(unless X is used, thus posing a problem for "Xi").  And
-occasionally someone uses P for "Rho", making problems for how to
-represent "Pi".
