(it reduces merits of localedef, though) 2. is more difficult. i wonder we should support to output compatible databases or not if we should change database format anyway... --- YAMAMOTO Takashi <yamt@mwd.biglobe.ne.jp> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-standards" in the body of the message
