Dear Vladimir

I am working under Win98, so I prefer using cp1251 for Russian and cp1252
for=20
German. I don=B4t have an unicode editor, and so I can=B4t use the utf-8
encoding, as far as=20
I understand.
Your option number three is what I=B4ve tried to do. The problem seems to b=
e
indeed=20
changing the encoding. I=B4m sending you my code, and maybe you can see wha=
t
the=20
problem is.=20

Thanks a lot,=20

(1) First try, resulting in umlauts not appearing on dvi.:

\documentclass{article}=20
\usepackage[T2A,T1]{fontenc}=20
\usepackage[cp1251,cp1252]{inputenc}=20
\usepackage[russian, german]{babel}  =20
\begin{document}

\selectlanguage{russian}\inputencoding{cp1251} =C2=EE=F2 =E2=E0=EC =F2=E5=
=F1=F2.\\
\selectlanguage{german} \inputencoding{cp1252} D=FCs =FCst =F6in T=E4st.=DF=
=DF \\


\end{document}


(1b) Without the Russian encoding, this works fine and gives beautiful
umlauts:
\documentclass{article}=20
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}=20
\usepackage[cp1252]{inputenc}=20
\usepackage[german]{babel}  =20
\begin{document}

%\selectlanguage{russian}\inputencoding{cp1251} =C2=EE=F2 =E2=E0=EC =F2=E5=
=F1=F2.\\
\selectlanguage{german} \inputencoding{cp1252} D=FCs =FCst =F6in T=E4st.=DF=
=DF \\

\end{document}

(2) if I use fontencoding, it doesn=B4t get better; umlauts are ignored:
\documentclass{article}=20
\usepackage[T2A,T1]{fontenc}=20
\usepackage[cp1251,cp1252]{inputenc}=20
\usepackage[russian, german]{babel}  =20
\begin{document}

\selectlanguage{russian}\inputencoding{cp1251} \fontencoding{T2A} =C2=EE=F2=
 =E2=E0=EC
=F2=E5=F1=F2.\\
\selectlanguage{german} \inputencoding{cp1252} \fontencoding{T1} D=FCs =FCs=
t
=F6in=20
T=E4st.=DF=DF \\

\end{document}

But, if I have to specify encoding of font and input, what do I need Babel
for? Only for=20
hyphenations and such?

I realize TeX is not as easy as I thought it was. I`ve spent quite some
time trying a lot=20
of possibilities, but it doesn=B4t work. Maybe there is no way that does no=
t
involve=20
rewriting babel?
