I installed a patch to CVS Texinfo to write the coding: variable last. Hope it doesn't mess anything else up. Of course, faq.texi doesn't have any @documentencoding line so all this work is not immediately relevant. It shouldn't need one, either. I strongly suggest replacing the one non-ASCII character, as in: Roland Sch@"auble (I wonder if his name was really Roland Sch@"uble, Sch@"auble looks unusual to me, but what do I know. Back in 18.58 for the Atari ST ...) Miles' problem of Japanese ending up in the output due to his LANG variable isn't immediately solvable. Thanks, karl
