   Hello, world: very sincerely!

   Can anyone tell me how much of the locale stuff is complete
   in 2.1?  For example, if I picked up my system and moved 
   across the pond to the UK, could I switch to the pound sign
   rather than the dollar sign?  With a simple command, I 
   mean.  Or in France, use the franc symbol and guillmets
   instead of American/English comma-quotes.

   Since FreeBSD is already international, do we have the
   locale stuff in place?  

   Pointers, please!

   gary kline

   PS:  Um, no, I haven't checked the src or docs yet...still
   at work.   --I will; just thought I'd ask the group first.
