Well, Windows 98 (1st edition) returns 'no-NO' for both Nynorsk and Bokm�l.

I hope you mean 'nn' and not 'nr'. And these are the language part, not the
country part. The complete locale code should be 'nn-NO' and 'nb-NO'.
I see 'ut_Win32Locale.cpp' use 'NON' and 'NOR'. Is this what Windows 2000
returns? The correct ISO 639-2 three-letter language codes for Nynorsk and
Bokm�l is 'nno' and 'nob', respectively. ('nor' could be either Nynorsk or
Bokm�l.) The official standard is available from <URL:
