Probably all but short month names will work, but I haven't tried. But beware, collation definition is not backward compatible with ascii, so you'll probably run into problems with any script which uses nonportable way to indicate character range. Most probably you find yourself stuck with some port and the only cure is to set your LANG to C while doing such tasks or wait until world ends (because it'll take long before all scripts will be correct). -- Vallo Kallaste kalts@estpak.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
