That suggests that we should possibly be calling it /L: /Lt (traditional), /Lu (unicode), /Ll (locale). Sadly, /Ll isn't overly clear, given the two different definitions of the word "locale" in the same statement. /Lp (posix) would be clearer, perhaps, but is overly technical. Another possibility is calling it /I, for internationalization, but that reads to the sad /Il -- where one of those is an i-for-India , and the other an l-for-lima. -=- James Mastros, theorbtwoThread Previous | Thread Next
