Well, just a quick follow up, Apparently the best I can get in DOS is DJGPP via (recompiled) /current/v2tk/llocl02s.zip (liblocal) w/ DJGPP 2.03p2 (only!). I tested under cp869 Greek (kernel 2040 + COUNTRY.SYS), and it "mostly" seemed to work correctly. (Feel free to e-mail me if you want the simple test and/or example results, but it ain't fancy.)
OpenWatcom doesn't work at all, not even under Windows (surprisingly). MinGW-64 and TCC/Win32 both work (for me: "English_United States.1252"), but that may be because they import MSVCRT.DLL (from MS VC). My PuppyLinux probably needs updating due to bugs, so I can't test compiling there right now. But presumably it works there too. In short, "C" (or "POSIX") minimal locale is default and pretty useless. Perhaps most people figured that was good enough. Or maybe that's decent compliance, but it seems not worth much. But I guess if anybody really cared, then they could roll their own. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Doing More with Less: The Next Generation Virtual Desktop What are the key obstacles that have prevented many mid-market businesses from deploying virtual desktops?
