I can say nothink about every program in the world, but I have a talk
with FreeBSD locale-master (Andrey Chernov, [EMAIL PROTECTED]), and as a result
he modified man pages for isalpha, toupper, etc to reflect the fact,
that chars should be unsigned. So he do not treat it as a bug.
I do not know much about compilers, but may be on some systems chars are
unsigned by default, and on others they are signed?
I can state that the program I gave you in the previous message does work
on Mandrake 6.0. But on FreeBSD it isn't.
After all, an explicit use of _unsigned_ chars should not do anythink evil...
