Ideally, it would be in a form supports a representation > of accents that work with TeX. Such a tool exists and is available from a ftp site in France. It has been written by Paul Zimmermann (zimmermann@inria.inria.fr) and is named "epelle" (spell in French). It is available for ftp from inria.inria.fr [128.93.8.1] in file "~/pub/ics.uci.edu/epelle.tar.Z". Epelle is built on top of the Unix spell system, and allows for both TeX and troff-style accent marks. The dictionary can be used by "look" too. If there is an interest for it in the US, it would be really nice to have a ftp site here. Salut, Christophe. -=- Computers are useless; they can only give answers. -- Picasso -=-
