Hi groffies, 

I was trying to convert a very small input file like: 

aaaa
bbbb
cccc
dddd

into .dvi. 
I used the command:  groff -Tdvi foo > foo.dvi

I get an error message saying: 
"the file you want open contains non-valid characters". 

The output-file like this: 

\F7\00\E00\00\00\E1\D8\00\00\E8\00\8B\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00
\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00
\00\00\00\00\00\FF\FF\FF\FF\8D\EFpapersize=8.268in,11.693in\F3\00K\F1`y
address@hidden@\00cmr10\AB\9F\FFC\CCaaaa\90
kbbbb\90
kcccc\90
odddd\8E\8D\EFcolor gray 0\8E\8C\F8\00\00\00\00\E00\00\00\E1\D8\00
\00\E8\00\00%\A4\00  address@hidden@\00cmr10\F9
\00\00\00\9E\DF\DF\DF\DF\DF\DF

When I use the command : groff -Tdvi -mlatin9 foo > foo.dvi
I get no error message. The output is exactly the same. 


I know Latex only a little bit. 
But this doesn't like an input-file for Latex. 

Could somebody explain to me?

Thanks a lot  :o)

Gregoire
