No, I think the previous poster was right. I think you really want just LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1 (or whatever) and LC_COLLATE=C (same as POSIX). If you unset all other LC_* variables, then LC_ALL won't be necessary, and you won't need an alias for ls. I've been through a similar process, and that is all that is necessary. The LANG variable is the master for all of the other LC_* variables, and each default to it. If any of the LC_* variables is individually set then that value is used instead of the LANG default. LC_ALL overrides all of the other LC_* variables and LANG, but I can't see any reason it should ever be needed. -- Carl Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
