There's been a misunderstanding here. Actually, I asked *whether*
such sequences exist for Latin-2. Here's the quote from my
original mail:

|    3.  A list of compose sequences (if one exists)
|        for the Latin-2 characters. By compose sequences,
|        I mean keystrokes that allow users to create
|        any Latin-2 character with an ASCII-only keyboard.
|        I know that such sequences exist for Latin-1, but
|        I don't know whether anyone has defined them for
|        Latin-2.

I can provide the Latin-1 compose sequences if anyone wants them.
We use DEC's defacto standard for these sequences.

Bruce, thanks for the list of languages Latin-2 supports.
