I'm just getting my feet wet in the FreeBSD l10n/i18n stuff, but I have discovered that to use an EUC or UTF locale, you must link with -lxpg4. Digging through the mailing list archives, I found a some messages the decision was made to remove >8-bit locale support from libc, but I didn't follow up and find the discussion of why. Could anyone involved in the decision provide a quick summary? On a related note, is anyone looking into implementing the Normative Addendum 1 to ANSI C? (multibyte/wide character support, see http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/na1.html for details) I made a (very) brief start but really don't have the time right now to work on it. -john
