When did the '@' symbol become > part of locale specifications? Since glibc-2.2. Every european locale (and others as well) has a @euro variant, to enable typing and displaying the Euro (�) character. (eg terminals automagically switch to the right fontencoding etc.) I have to have the @euro variant for Blackbox, to propagate it to the apps launched by Blackbox. But one could easily create a symlink nl_NL@euro -> nl_NL in the nls dir, or strip off any @... part. I also found out how to install multiple language manual pages! They should be installed in $prefix/share/man/$locale/manx/ . E.g. The Dutch manual pages (blackbox and bsetroot) can be installed to $prefix/share/man/nl/man1/ . When I have some time I'll try to make a patch against pre4 that does this. regards, -- Wilbert Berendsen (http://www.xs4all.nl/~wbsoft/)
