Well, not *fully* localized, since the commands were still the usual bunch of 'ls' 'cp', 'mv' etc... (is that really English? ;-)), but everthing else, including error messages and man pages were in german. That was really weird looking, yet cute. I don't know if SINIX is still alive or defunct by now. Oh yeah, I also remember a french version of PASCAL (with french keywords!) from the early eighties. That was even weirder than a localized Unix! > Anthony -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
