This program was first made to work 2023 May 7, Pacific Standard Time.
From either stdin or a given file name, HTML is read. Hyphenated HTML
is output, either to stdout or a given file name.

This program in its current form depends upon a C library "hyphen" and
an associated dictionary of hyphenation patterns "hyph_en_US.dic",
those which are products of the hunspell hyphen project, derivative of
Raph Levien's libHnj and the hyphenation algorithm used in Donald
Knuth's TeX. They are distributed by OpenBSD as "hyphen", by Alpine
Linux as "hyphen-en", and by Debian as "hyphen-en-us". This author
does not pretend that sane dependency management is common on
Windows installations, and so 64-bit Windows NT binaries are included
in the 'win' directory.

This author places their work on this program in the Public Domain.
'their work' may be considered 'hyp.c', 'config.h', and 'makefile'.
The only assurance provided with this program is that it was programmed
with Good Intent and a clear head.
