Believe it or not, that's what I'm doing - although I'm using american keyboards without german umlauts on them. However I'm not adding the package include since I'm using plain text files, no latex. The question instead is: How do I need to encode umlauts to use with spell? ANSI umlauts don't work ASCII umlauts don't work LaTeX umlauts don't work SGML umlauts don't work Unix umlauts (ae/ue) don't work Now, I don't have more encodings. Ok, recode has more, but.. I'm tired... Regards, Joey -- A mathematician is a machine for converting coffee into theorems.
