 But I do not want to be told each time I type `netscape' that my
 locale is not supported by that ancient X11R5-Xlib.  If it's beyond
 our forces to fix it, i. e. add the proper support, we should get
 rid of this daily reminder of our limits :-)
 
 We should not get used to gratuitous error messages or warnings.
 And our -questions list should not be filled by them.

      The scope of this is confined to the environment of netscape,
      it does not affect the user's shell.

 If Andrey can fix it, i. e. put X11R5 compatible locale files into
 ${XNLSPATH}, it would be most welcome  (like his other work).
 
 BTW, does Linux have these locale files?
