This is the correct locale name, but don't use tr like that, you can't rely on that to work correctly with charsets which aren't symmetric in lower&uppercase characters (it used to work at some point for the ISO8859-1 [5] locales but ceased after a POSIX related modification to tr). Use tr [:lower:] [:upper:] instead. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
