[comp.emacs] 8-bit clean emacs ?

otto@tukki.jyu.fi (Otto J. Makela) (09/21/90)

Does there exist a 8-bit clean (in the sense that one could use national
etc. characters from for example ISO8859/1) emacs ?

We have the Talisman 8-bit patches which enable viewing of 8-bit characters,
but one has to enter national characters in a very complicated method (to
insert a a-dieresis (or a-umlaut, whatever you call it) you do C-x 8 " a)...

What we'd need is something which enables editing using a vt-200 or similar
terminal which can be configured to produce the proper ISO codes.

Ideas and suggestions by email, please.
