Hi Keith,

Why have we got to change plain text files?  I read files with vi, less, 
more and other simple tools.

What UTF-8 symbols do you need that are not covered by groff's (or 
troff's) special characters or other mechanisms.

I do not quite understand your comments about fr.tmac. Those hcode lines 
work for me.
