I do want UTF-8, but I = do also want my scripts to continue to work. Clearly, en_US.UTF-8 is = not what I want. Is it C.UTF-8? Or do I set LANG=3Den_US.UTF-8 and = LC_COLLATE=3DC? If you want to use a UTF8 locale, then you must start using character = classes like '[:upper:]' and '[:lower:]' because those will-- or at = least "should", modulo bugs-- properly handle the collation issues = including for languages which do not possess a 1-1 mapping between upper = and lower case letters. Someone with a German email address is presumably familiar with =C3=9F / = Eszett...? :-) Regards, --=20 -Chuck
