Take the corresponding TeX hyphenation file (eg. from /usr/lib/texmf/tex/generic/hyphen/), remove or comment out everything but the contents of the \patterns macro, and save it as /usr/share/groff/tmac/hyphen.<LANGUAGE>. Then change /usr/share/groff/tmac/troffrc (the ``.do hla'' line and the ``.do hpf'' line) so that it uses the newly created hyphenation patterns. -- The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation incompetently produces a wide range of inefficient and unreliable high-tech machinery. However, thanks to SCC's ruthless marketing division, this junk accounts for over 95% of the high-tech machinery sold in the Galaxy. (SCC's marketing division will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.)
