I am a bit confused. Neither de_DE.ISO-8859-1 nor de_DE.ISO8859-1 work properly in all cases. > setenv LANG de_DE.ISO8859-1 > echo abcdef uvwxyz | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]' ABCDEF ÚWXYÝ] > setenv LANG de_DE.ISO-8859-1 > echo abcdef uvwxyz | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]' ABCDEF UVWXYZ > perl perl: warning: Setting locale failed. [lot of indignation about locale settings] I am suspicious that de_DE.UTF-8 would work correct with most software. Is it the only solution to don't use localization currently at all or should it be my ambition to fix this? What should be the correct value? I would prefer the notation "ISO-8859-1", but even the almighty perl does not. Regards Björn
