unicode with arabtex

[Alberto Corbi Bellot <alberto_corbi@terra.es>]

dear dominique and debian/tetex maintainers...

my name is alberto, a spanish arabic student. i'm currently using
arabtex to typeset arabic directly in utf8 (no transliteration) within
latex. works great! i would also like to use inputenc with your unicode
(ucs) pakage to directly tipe spanish accents and simbols like á é ñ and
so on... i got ucs succesfully installed.

but when compiling i get :

Package utf8.def Warning: Character(s) 160 etc. got redefined somewhere.
(utf8.def)                Restoring to its utf8-meaning on input line
11.

(/home/acorbi/LaTeX/tex/latex/ucs/ucsencs.def)
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/arabtex/apatch.sty
(ArabTeX) version 3.11d (23.10.2003): second phase of patching)
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/arabtex/Uxnsh.fd)
! Illegal arabic command: ^^d9.
\a@cmderr ...age {Illegal arabic command: \nxp #1}
                                                  \a@@cmd = {{\a@puttt
#1\ar...
l.13 ...^d8^^ae^^d8^^b6^^d8^^b1^^d8^^a7^^d8^^a1.}}

i also send you the tex file so that you can check it...

if i type no arabic and add no arabtex commands, it works fine... i can
type utf8 symbols with no problem.

regards... alberto.
