Thus, having one of these locales set, one gets *Latin* months names etc. I don't think it's ``intuitively correct''. :-) >How-To-Repeat: $ LANG=ASCII cal Iunius 1999 So Lu Ma Me Io Ve Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 >Fix: I don't know precisely what ASCII and US-ASCII should be symlinked to, but my educated guess is it should be en_US.ISO_8859-1.
