From Karl Brodowsky (bk1@ix.urz.uni-heidelberg.de) umlaute.lzh contains the following files: umlaute.sty dosuml.sty readme.ger readme.eng To use umlaut characters in a TeX source file it is necessary to enable TeX to understand them. Emtex has this feature built in but it is also possible to use it for other TeX by the file umlaute.sty which has to be included. umlaute.sty for ISO dosuml.sty for DOS (Code Page 437) Have fun with it, distribute it freely and complain to your sysop if your TeX is not eightbit-clean.
