>Why can't it test for locale? because they do not have C and cannot build it.
for me, to change the open source library that was not designed to deal with that stuff (i.e. EBCDIC locales), it would be a major surgery rather then a relatively simple port. PCRE has to be compiled separately for ASCII/UTF-8 vs. UTF-16, vs UTF-32 vs. EBCDIC ZA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
