Note - this patch should now be applied to sgml2ps (qtex was an old script
that has been replaced with sgml2ps).

Hi Greg,

I started using linuxdoc-sgml for some docs in German too (being fond of it
formatting the Commercial-HOWTO). However, enabling German was forgotten in
some of the tools, e.g. qtex, being the most important tool for me at

code (i.e. load german.sty) as follows:
