We are currently using SparcStationI computers with X11R4. We want to be able to use the compose character key available on the Sun's keyboard to enter ISO accented charaters (>128) to xterm or GNU Emacs... Is ther any body who tried to do that ? (or any scheme to enter accented letters from the keyboard in a reasonable manner) turcotte@asterix.drev.dnd.ca -- +---------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+ | GUY TURCOTTE | DREV, Defence Research Establishment,Valcartier | | guy@asterix.drev.dnd.ca | POBox 8800, Courcelette,Quebec, CANADA, G0A 1R0 | | (131.132.48.2) | Office: (418) 844-4434 Home (418) 845-1507 |

I don't know what, if anything, they'll do with it, so don't bug them about it. However, I did attempt to post it to comp.sources.x with negative results (I botched the posting, apparently). I'll try again sometime in the next few days, including writing a new README and manpage. Elias Israel | "Justice, n.
