Yes I can. I'll post a little about my problems as a novice in a 
separate mail.

As for the input file: Yes, as far as I could see it was identical. I 
had copied it from your mail and pasted it into gedit, which is the 
editor I have been using (still fond of mice). But then, just for the 
experiment, I deleted that file and pasted your input into Emacs. And 
the file compiled neatly. I lost the r in"g\aa r",though, and that's 
part of the original problem.

I don't quite understand how to use the md5sum you sent. I believe that 
my problem lies somwhere in TeX, though. I'll do some studying and see 
what I can find out.

I'm not annoyed at all, by the way, but extremely grateful for your help.

This mail should have been sent earlier today, but my mail program 
started to act a little weird (I have switched to Mozillamail now), and 
I had to go for a performance with my choir.
