>Description:

	The tr(1) command doesn't like accented characters.
	a) if in the first parameter there is a E' (dec 144 - \220
	- but not in octal - in character format), tr dumps core.
	b) if there is any accented character in the first parameter, does
	nothing - no conversion at all
	But works great if they are in \octal form.
