SOLUTION: Putting accented characters in manpages



Hi all!

I just wanted to remind you how to cope with accented characters in man
pages. Please see groff_char(7)!

E.g.:
	Frank K\[:u]ster
and
	P\['e]ter Szab\[:o]
should be used.

Best wishes

Norbert

`I'm so happy.'
`It will be very, very nasty for you, and that's just too
bad. Got it?'
`I gurgle with pleasure.'
