What is FreeBSD's stance on Internationalization? I remember a while back that someone was working on porting DCE to FreeBSD & Linux but I think one of the blocking points for FreeBSD was I18N.

I notice that we do have catopen, catgets, etc. -castor To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
