ther the locale code in the C library will actually handle the locale data for the *.UTF-8 locales. My guess is that the answer is "no" and that it simply won't work. After all, if it did, you would expect the OpenBSD developers to have included them in the normal builds and distributions. Making the locale stuff work 100% correctly is quite complicated and is still, as I understand it, a work-in-progress. In the meantime, using the ISO8859-1 locales instead of the UTF-8 locales is still, IIRC, the recommended course. Philip Guenther
