wait, did i just hear you admit that there is something linux can't do
with a little careful reading of manpages, random experimentation, and
and a few minutes of scripting? ;) i'm not familiar with all of the
factors you listed, but what specifically is screwing with what?
is british english with euro support the problem? C sorting ought to
work (though i guess it just hates me, for some reason ... see my next
post), and i don't know anything about the paper format or why phone
numbers have anything to do with locales.
there's got to be a way to do all that, right? or am i just overly
optimistic?
nimmersatt with linux,
