encTeX on ctan
by Robin Fairbairns 28 Jan '03

encTeX is (another) tex extension, written at the change-file level. it provides means of translating input, on the way into tex's mouth. the most recent version allows translation of multibyte sequences, such as utf-8 encoding. i have established a mirror of enctex into ctan at systems/enctex, to aid people's evaluation of the system.
