Greek line in etc/HELLO

Greek line in etc/HELLO

[Thomas Morgan]

I am not an expert on Greek, but I think the line in etc/HELLO which reads

  Greek (Ελληνιkά)		Γειά σασ

should instead be

  Greek (Ελληνικά)		Γειά σας

(I replaced the ASCII characters E and k with their Greek counterparts,
and replaced the last medial sigma σ with word-final sigma ς.)

Strange.  The Greek line in the HELLO file of CVS HEAD trunk
is surely the same as what you suggest.

The file contents is this (ESC chars are written as "^["):

Greek (^[,FEkkgmij\^[(B)		^[,FCei\^[(B ^[,Fsar^[(B

^[,F is the designation sequence for ISO8859-7, ^[(B is the
designation sequence for ASCII.  So, there should be no
ASCII letters within parentheses and after TAB.  Could you
pleast start Emacs with "-nw --no-site-file" arg, and visit
the file .../etc/HELLO directly?  Do you still see incorrect
letters?

I'm sorry, you are right; the first Greek line is correct.
I meant to say the Unicode Greek line, which is line 53.

Ah! I see.  Thank you for noticing it.  I've just installed
a fix.
