You apparently have X11R6. The /usr/lib/X11/nls was uuencoded and sent to the hackers/questions lists by me, three times now. You will find it in the list archives. The "kit" I put together, including someone elses patches to 1.1.5 to make it run there, is in one of these messages. Maybe it is also on ref.tfs.com? Maybe Jordan has put it somewhere? The location of this thing should be in the FAQ under "NETSCAPE". Terry Lambert terry@cs.weber.edu --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
