The ENABLE_STARTUP_LOCALE hack is nice for those programs that are not even aware of locale's. The base utilities however should be aware if it, and handle it themselves. As i said in another message, except perhaps daemons. All other utilities that use the isctype()-style macros/functions should use it. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
