Well, I'm working on project trying to bring back an old package last
published on R 1.9 back to life.
I'm almost there but I am getting killed by an encoding error in the Rd
files

After reading the manual, I decided to try UTF-8.  Mostly because I could
spell it. ha.

That got me a bit closer but I still have these warnings

* checking data for non-ASCII characters ... WARNING
  Warning: found non-ASCII string(s)
  'Tourbihre de la Rivihre-aux-Feu' in object 'modpoll'
  'Lac ` la Fourche' in object 'modpoll'
  'Lac ` la Loutre' in object 'modpoll'
  'Lac Kinogami' in object 'modpoll'
* checking data for ASCII and uncompressed saves ... OK
* checking examples ... OK
* checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING
LaTeX errors when creating PDF version.
This typically indicates Rd problems.
LaTeX errors found:
 ! Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined
(inputenc)                in inputencoding `utf8'.

I'll keep searching the help list archives for a clue, but If somebody
could point me at educational material it's really time
that I learn this aspect.

I've read    http://developer.r-project.org/Encodings_and_R.html

How do I figure out which encoding to use with the error seen above
