> I still think it is bogus. If they say "3-letter", then > "Fr " isn't allowable, neither is " Fr". I am not exactly correct in this thing, really I mean 3 positions occuped. I am even not shure that this fact specified somewhere in docs, but using this rule allows to reduce needed programs modifications greately. POSIX WG intended thing is using national civil life abbreviations when possible. In first variant of RU definition they use their own invented nonexistent 3-letter abbreviations, but promise me to correct them to padded 2-leters abbreviations in future versions after I send update to them. -- Andrey A.
