People, Is anyone else working on the internationalization of the standard utility set? GNU is far ahead of FreeBSD in most of it's code and I'm not refering to GPL'd code. Only things like most of what we have in bin, usr.bin, &c. I've been into this twice. The first time, briefly, in '96, and for the past few weeks. Generating simple, efficient catalogues for each of the 200+ utilities is a first task. There is a related issue of the system errs (currently in sys_errlist[]). There are at least two rational ways to turn:: $ ENOENT 2 No such file or directory into its French equiv:: $ ENOENT 2 Fichier ou r\xe9pertoire introuvable I'm going ahead with my current implementation and look forward to hearing from any other hackers who are interested in this. gary -- Gary D.
