I think it is likely that if you use
\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}
then your file will not look well if viewed in another operating
system but *should* typeset just fine.
I cannot guarantee it, because I only use macs. I do know that it
works the other way around: I have received files with accented
characters that came from a windows machine and used inputenc (with
the appropriate option for windows, I don't remember what that is).
They looked ugly in the editor (had =CC instead of =EA, etc.) but the
typeset result was correct. That is how things ought to work too, but
hey, this is a mac :-).

I thought about two possible solutions, but I don't really have the=20
time to test them (since the HP workstations where I have an account=20
and the Mac I am using are in two different buildings of my research=20
institute):
- If you do file transfers with Fetch, it has an option "Iso=20
translation" which should perform all the necessary translations.
- In TextEdit or TeXShop you can specify the encoding to use, Iso Latin=20=
for Windows and Mac OS Roman for Mac. This cannot though convert=20
already existing accented letters in your file, you need to specify the=20=
encoding before typing them. In this respect TextEdit is more=20
sophisticated than TeXShop, since you can specify two different=20
encodings, one for opening files and the other for saving them.
If only Unicode could soon become the universal standard it's aimed at.

Hi,
Does anybody know how to control the security settings of a pdf file from
pdftex? What I would like to do is to produce a pdf file that cannot be
modified afterwards. I know this can be done with Adobe Acrobat but I
would like to do it directly from pdftex or, as a second option, with some =
kind of (free) postprocessing.
Thanks

On CTAN there is a package called pdfcrypt. It has settings that allow
security to be set. (However that is as much as I know, as I've had no
call to use it myself.)

Yes indeed it will, but should you need to edit it, you're stuck.=20
That's why William Adams' suggestion to use UTF8 is *the* solution to=20
this particular problem. Your files are then readable, editable on any=20=
machine (but here comes the trick) provided its system understands=20
Unicode (all modern systems do), and you have a unicode-aware editor=20
(on the mac you can use iMacTeX, using this as a first line to your=20
files to indicate the file encoding: "%!iTeXMac(charset): UTF-8",=20
without the quotes). I personally use emacs since tools I need exist=20
for it.
To use Unicode, you then will need to use Omega (included in the LaTeX=20=
distributions), instead of LaTeX to typeset. The main problem of Omega=20=
is its lack of documentation, so I can't help you much more=20
unfortunately. I found the extensions I needed to use it, and my set-up=20=
works. I don't have the time now to dwell in it unfortunately and since=20=
I got it to work...

K=C4=81mas=C5=ABtra 2.1.1
\end{document}
instead of having to type this :
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{t1enc} % used for the danda | a punctation mark.
\begin{document}

all the time, rendering source files hard to read.
The utf package I use is from here (it works fine for normal European=20

As you might know, I will release the source code for i-Installer. I
have to decide on the license style. I think my options are either BSD
or GPL. This might open a can of worms, but I'd like to ask experts
that roam in this civilized community what their opinion is on the

Personally I like all of the political aspects of the GPL, but if
you intent is to foster the widest possible adoption and uptake of the
technology, a BSD license might have some merit.
In the case of the packages - you might have some problems. If any
of the packages you distribute are GPL, then technically you should also =
be
making available the raw source code for them. I do not really know the
details of the iInstaller system, but if the packages are being modified =
in
any way to make them work with the iInstaller, those modifications and the
iInstaller itself might be subject to whatever the license of the package
is.
Given my perception of the scope of your project and the likely
users of your software (and my own personal bias) I would vote for GPL,
with perhaps a note explaining that people should contact the author if
they need access to the source under a different license (maybe you can
sell a license to Apple for big bucks?)
Or another idea is to have people vote with their donation monies -
the biggest total donation after a set period would decide the license.

The packages 'are' source, except for the archive which is a
repackaging of someone else's work, which will fall under any original
license. i-Installer v2 will also be free and open source. If I get
legal complaints about me distributing something, I will just stop
distributing it.

Fat chance... Maybe when I return form vacation I'll find a

Excellent idea! ;-)
There is a donations link on my web site: http://www.rna.nl/tex.html
