Thanks all !
There are many advantages in using tex (or etex) rather than pdflatex ; but as
a consequence, I've got a question with TeX...
Does anyone
know whether it is possible to activate the "ansinew" encoding with TeX
(as a LaTeX command, \usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc} will probably not
work) ? In french, we keep having difficulties with words like "Flûte". For
some reasons, I'd rather write it "Flûte" (ANSI-encoding) and not "Fl\^{u}te".
