Someone should warn Apple then, since $LANG has been set to = en_US.UTF-8 by default in OS X for years now. I just checked, and = sed/grep/vi/ed/etc all still work. :) It=E2=80=99s a good idea to change it. We have outgrown ISO-Latin1, and = UTF-8 solves a host of ugly I18N interoperability problems when used = consistently. - Jordan
