Obviously you are aware that the incorporation of 
so-called diacritic signs under UNIX is still problematic for a lot of 
software, including GRASS and INFORMIX which I have been using 
exclusively for the creation of a French sites database. The French were 
only mildly annoyed at the impossibility of including accents, and we 
spent several weeks exchanging diskettes (by snail-mail, not everyone is 
on the net) trying to find out how to convert their data, in 
MacIntosh format, to UNIX-compatible format. So if you're planning to 
incorporate the extended ASCII set in GRASS, I am definitely in favour! 
I'll send you a file a.s.a.p.!
