There is also compose-character code patterned after the VT-330 (so I'm told) for ISO Latin-1 (8859-1). I did not write this; it was written by Justin Bur, now <justin@lspsun1.epfl.ch>. The code itself is available for anonymous ftp from 132.206.1.1 in X/justin-compose. (X/justin-compose.Sun-extra is further patches primarily for use with European Sun keyboards using the OpenWindows server.) der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
