Presumably, R CMD build should just standardize the locale to "C" internally (it is a right pain to change all instances of a-zA-Z to [[:alpha:]], most likely not even possible to do it portably, and at any rate, packages should not come out different depending on the locale in which it was built.) -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
