I hope that this will enter the standard distribution as soon as possible, so that we can get rid of all the awful hacks that are going round. (Just this weekend, I saw two emacs-lisp files posted on comp.text.tex which essentially converted a-umlaut into "a, rather than having TeX itself interpret the 8-bit character.) One thing, in case I want to modify some of the distributed packages before their authors see the light and support T1: What is the right way to determine what encoding is being used? Peter Dalgaard
