150: How do I input 8-bit characters?
  
  Minor modes for ISO Latin-1 that allow one to easily input this character
  set have been written by several people.  Such modes have been written by
  Matthieu Herrb <matthieu@laas.fr> (laas.laas.fr:pub/emacs/iso-latin-1.el),
  Johan Vromans <jv@mh.nl> {FTP site??}, and Marc Shapiro
  <shapiro@sor.inria.fr> {FTP site??}.
  
  These approaches differ from the one taken by Anders Edenbrandt in that
  his method uses direct 8-bit input, while these methods use a compose
  sequence for 8-bit characters.  {I have heard conflicting reports on
  whether this results in losing the Meta key.  Perhaps this depends on
  whether Emacs is running under X.  Can someone resolve this?}
  
  Karl Heuer <karl@haddock.ima.isc.com> is said to have a patch to allow
  8-bit input.  Georg-Wilhelm Koltermann <gwk@crmunich0.cray.com> also has a +
  patch for either 18.57 or 18.58 that allows 8-bit input.                   +
                                                                             +
  Epoch comes with a patch that allows it to input 8-bit characters, but it  +
  is not enabled by default.  {Is this right?}                               +
