Hi all,

whoever is responsible for this, thanks for an excellent solution to the
problem I mentioned in November (RH bugs 6569/6762), namely using the -l
switch in sort which ships in RH 6.2. Please keep it that way; it makes
the old code/scripts work as they should regardless of env variables,
yet allowing to use the NLS support for new scripts as needed. 

However, I believe the tables for sorting under the NLS environment
(i.e., sort -l type of sorting; I tried LANG=en_US and cs_CZ) are wrong
in that they put "Abc" before "abc", or "A" before "a" etc.; I believe
that *other things being equal*, capitalized words/letters should go
*after* their lowercase forms.

Thanks again, and with best regards,
