My problem is that I use text files containing ISO Latin 1 codes (i.e. ASCII where the codes 160-255 are used for accented characters). My terminals and windows understand it, but gnu emacs insists on displaying them as octal sequences. (internationalized) vi and ed are better in this respect. How can I change emacs prejudice about what are printable characters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pierre-Yves Schobbens Unite d'Informatique eMail: pys@lln-cs.UUCP Universite Catholique de Louvain pys@info.ucl.ac.be Place Sainte-Barbe, 2 Phone: +32 10 47 24 15 B-1348 Louvain-La-Neuve Telex: 59037 ucl b Belgique Fax: +32 10 45 03 45 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
