IT WORKS GREAT !
Thanks a lot !!

So I had it to my rundig script.
I put "export LC_ALL=C" before htmerge and "export LC_ALL=fr_FR" after htmerge.

All right. So now, it's no use to discuss furthermore about sort &#@�!#$ and so on.
Unfortunatly Pablo and Gilles have not seen all the messages separatly posted in the mailing lists [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] : I hope there won't be confusion about the goal of all that ; the problem is now solved and future version of htdig should avoid such problems.

To all, much thanks again.
