  OK, now I'm confused. The FR.PO file that I got from Bernard last week
has this in it:

"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=cp850\n"

  The fr.po file in the lynx 2.8.5dev.13 distribution has this:

"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n"

  So, I should change Bernards' from cp850 to ISO-8859-1?

  If the accents have been changed to the incorrect coding, I should not
send it yet, right?

  Bernard's version is an update to the one in the Lynx distribution, as
evidenced by his copied/modified comment:

#       Wen Feb  15 21:01:15 EST 2003, TD merged changes by
#               Bernard Schweitzer <address@hidden>

  The "TD merged" language was copied without Tom actually having done
any merge, but it indicates Bernard was the latest translator to touch
this file.

  Here is an example discrepancy between accented words in phrases, as
shown by the "less" file browser:

Old fr.po:

#: LYMessages.c:31
msgid "Are you sure you want to quit?"
msgstr "D<E9>sirez-vous vraiment quitter?"

New FR.PO:

#: LYMessages.c:31 LYMessages.c:32
msgid "Are you sure you want to quit?"
msgstr "D<82>sirez-vous vraiment quitter?"

  Is there some way that I can change the "code page 850" accents to the
"ISO-8859-1" accents without breaking the file?
