Hello,
I've set "LC_CTYPE" in my environment to "de_DE.ISO8859-15" so that NetBSD
will support national characters in locale aware applications. This works
not with emulated Linux program unfortunately. They want either "de",
"de_DE", "de_DE@euro" or "german" but NetBSD accepts none of these.
Solaris accepts "de", "de_DE" and "de_DE.ISO8859-15".
Should we add some aliases to our locale definitions? If so which ones?
Kind regards
