Which can be compiled correctly. It is however a mess and should be converted to UTF8 or latin-1. Now there are functions that convert 7bit to latin-1 or UTF8 for example iso-tex2iso from ‘iso-cvt.el’. The problem is that function requires \'o (which is standard latex syntax). There was until recently iso-accentuate from iso-acc that served this purpose. Any reason why it was removed? I found etc/NEWS.22:*** iso-acc.el is now obsolete. Use one of the latin input methods instead. Well I understand the reasoning but for converting old files this is still useful. Any opinions Regards Uwe Brauer
