Dear TeX implementors

Let me remind the most important sentences of my announce of encTeX:

...

I released the second version of my encTeX -- the extension of TeX for input re-encoding. This version is available on

ftp://math.feld.cvut.cz/pub/olsak/enctex/

This version supports the full UTF-8 encoding of input files and \write files in 8bit TeX, pdfTeX and eTeX.

I think that the UTF-8 encoding will be used more and more common. In such situation, there is no another way than to modify the input processor of TeX otherwise the 8bit TeX will dead in short time.

I am ready to help you with the implementation of encTeX to the common TeX distributions.

I would like to the encTeX becomes a standard extension of TeX used in many TeX distributions.

Any comments?

Will somebody implement this extension into TeX distribution?

Thank you

Petr Olsak
