Re: latex cannot typeset a german \SS

Hi,

add 
	\usepackage{german} 
to your document head and use 
	"s
to generate a ß. If your document is in an other language you can
use the babel package.
Add
	\usepackage[german,english]{babel}
instead of 
	\usepackage{german}
English is the normal style then. If you like to quote german text
you can change the language for a whole paragraph and more with
	\selectlanguage{german}
quote some german sentences and switch back to english with
	\selectlanguage{english}
Don't forget to switch back.
With the babel package it should also be possible to use
	"s
without switching the language. You can type Umlaute with
	"a
for ä and so on.
