Sorry, you are right, I should have been providing an example! By creating that I saw that there has been an error in my makefile... Now the error message is "hyphenation code must be ordinary character". So I understand that the only correct file enocding for .hcode with umlauts is latin1 (ISO 8859-1)? Or is there any chance to use 7-bit input like \[uXXXX]? --Carsten
