I need to distribute some files that use the ISO Latin-1 character
set, and I'm using the XLATE function of C-Kermit to translate them
into a couple of other formats (PC codepage 850, plain ASCII).  If
I use the Macintosh-Latin translation that C-Kermit provides, will
the result be a file that will make sense to any standard Macintosh
word processor, or does it require MacKermit to display properly?

(I don't have any reasonable access to a Mac & so can't easily test
this myself.)

Thanks,
David S.
