Hi,
I have read the fact sheet by Richard Shima at Cleveland Freenet and 
gather that it is not easy to make French accents print out. However has 
anyone made them print in unix-aix-pine(Korn shell). I have posted 
several messages to francophones and have received a suggestion to try to 
get some free Eudora software. Suggestions from anyone working on the 
same type of system are most welcome. We use character based 
workstations, not windows at the moment.
Appended is a message containing other info someone sent me for c shell. 
Could this be made to work in k shell and if so how?
Diane

Comme toi je viens de me battre avec ma station pour lui faire
afficher les accents.  Je viens de gagner la bataille.  Sur un
Sun en Solaris 2 j'ai mis

  setenv LANG fr
  setenv LC_CTYPE iso_8859_1
  /usr/bin/stty -istrip cs8

dans mes fichiers d'environnement .cshrc ou .login.  Ca semble marcher
egalement sans la derniere ligne.  Ca marchait sur la console, mais pas
dans Openwindows.  Pour que ca marche en Openwindows il faut avoir

  SETDISPLAYSCREEN() {
        DISPLAY=${BASEDISPLAY}.$1
        if winsysck x11 ; then
                :
        else
                echo No display available for screen $1
                exit 1
        fi
        eval `svenv -env`
  }

dans le fichier .openwin-init.  Ca ne marchait pas tant que je
n'avais pas la ligne "eval `svenv -env`".
Pour AIX je ne peux rien dire.
