Hi guys,
Just curious, does anybody know of a C compiler that actually
supports a *functional* locale.h ?? It doesn't seem like most (if any)
barely support it, if at all. Kinda strange since it's a requirement
for ANSI C (1989), esp. since the DOS support is presumably there

Well, just a quick follow up,
Apparently the best I can get in DOS is DJGPP via (recompiled)
/current/v2tk/llocl02s.zip (liblocal) w/ DJGPP 2.03p2 (only!). I
tested under cp869 Greek (kernel 2040 + COUNTRY.SYS), and it mostly

Not useless, really. For example, MS-DOS 5 introduced their DOS Shell that
supported task switching, a rudimentary form of multitasking.
You could also (allegedly) just change your Win3x or Win9x shell=

, but that's harder
to find nowadays (and old cpus break, like mine, eek).
Honestly, Windows/NTVDM or Linux/DOSEMU is good (and necessary) for
both multitasking and networking. I think those two things are the
killer features (though people always whine about 640 kb or segments
or LFNs too).
