[OS X TeX] accents

[Juan Falgueras]

The use of direct Mac Non ASCII characters is certainly a non 
portable solution but..:

	1) Is more efficient (\' is a macro that after expanding is 
converted to \accent19..)
	2) Works with the tabble environment (\'a does not)
	3) It's also better than babel-activation accents for use with 
foreign bibs since some foreigns name have ' that babel interprets as 
active accents.
	4) It's relatively portable if you distribute also the input file 
since although the file have the usual bizarre characters, those 
characters will be correctly interpreted by latex via the input of 
that option_key


I complete some time ago the option_key file (originally from Doug 
Henderson of Blue Sky Research) and called it NoASCCI.sty.

Below it is my file.

Thanks for this list!

%% La advantage of noASCII.sty over option_key is the former
%% use \accent19 instead \' with two important improvements:
