Hi Thodoros,

If your intent is to use Greek letters in math, the $\alpha$ method is
probably the best.  However, if your intent is to write a document in the
Greek language, that is something else.

This seems to work:

---------------------

\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}

\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc}
\usepackage[greek]{babel}

\begin{document}

abcdefg hijklmnop qrstuvwxyz

ABCDEFG HIJKLMNOP QRSTUVWXYZ

\end{document}

--------------------------

I have the full MiKTeX implementation.  This may not work without installing
additional packages if you used one of the smaller options.

Then again, it might.

Hi John,
   Thanks for the interest. The problem that DVI viewer doesn't show greek
letters correctly (shows diffrerent greek letters) happens when I type in
the .tex file the actual symbols of Windows screen font. I tried a .tex file
with $\alpha, \beta$ in a line and DVI viewer showed the greek letters
correctly.
   I tried a solution that was proposed in some info pages, i.e. I put at
the beginning of the .tex file the line
%& -translate-file=win2tex.tcx
   where win2tex.tcx was a file prepared by me with the mappings of Windows'
character codes to TeX's character codes. It worked correctly for the first
few letters when I was testing it, but then it crashed because it was
affecting TeX (TeX showed a message that it was unable to find a file - the
name of the file had a greek letter because of my mappings). A possible
reason for TeX's crashing is that TeX used the command \inputenc somewhere
which doesn't work together with a .tcx file, according to the same info
pages.
