Hi,
I have a bunch of old Windows .doc files where the german umlauts are
shown like this (on my Debian) for example:
\201 \267. I am not sure but these are Windows chars, no? M - % does
not work. If I enter replace \201 with ü - nothing happens. What can I
do within emacs to avoid replacing them all manually?
harry
