The 11/12/2000 I wrote to the list about translation problem du to different keyboard mapping between
Mac and Window....

Richard A. O'Keefe clarifies that "Macintoshes use an older character set known as MacRoman.
Latin-1 and MacRoman don't just assign different numbers to the characters, they disagree about which
characters exist. "

Finally I found that I don't need to re-key everything for Mac, or to make a program to remap everything
between MacRoman and ISO-8859, I just need to use Nescape Communicator and to select the item
'Character set: Western (ISO-8859-1)' in the view menu.

If this can help other people.
