Right. Otherwise the entire table would be full of bugs: Serbia-and-Montenegro politically separated in 2006, after a public referendum. This Sunday you might add the Kosovo to that list. Not to mention potential candidates like Scotland, Northern Ireland or N.Cyprus etc. Also, just imagine a multi-ethnic country like Bosnia-Hercegovina: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnia-Hercegovina#Administrative%20divisions Ethnics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ethnic_relations_1991.GIF Consisting of three major poitical enteties, which themselves are subdivided, too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bosniadivisions1.PNG "Bosnia and Herzegovina has several levels of political structuring under the federal government level. Most important of these levels is the division of the country into two entities: Republika Srpska and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina covers some 51% of Bosnia and Herzegovina's total area, while Republika Srpska covers around 49%. The entities, based largely on the territories held by the two warring sides at the time, were formally established by the Dayton peace agreement in 1995 due to the tremendous changes in Bosnia and Herzegovina's ethnic structure. Since 1996 the power of the entities relative to the federal government has decreased significantly. Nonetheless, entities still have numerous powers to themselves. The Brčko federal district in the north of the country was created in 2000 out of land from both entities. It officially belongs to both, but is governed by neither, and functions under a decentralized system of local government. The Brčko district has been praised for maintaining a multiethnic population and a level of prosperity significantly above the national average.[14]" The 1995 Daton-agreement left the country in the borders of 1897. What a horror! A ticking something. *Fortunately* the screen Wayne was referring to only lists regionally typical keyboard-mappings. Not locales. -- regards, %martin > -- > -Alan Coopersmith- > - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System > em Engineering -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
