Okay, I think I've narrowed down my search of the problem I'm having with sort to the difference in locales on the two machines. One machine reports en_US for all the locales when I issue the "locale" command, and the other reports POSIX. The man pages on this topic are sketchy, at best. I'm wondering how I can change the machine that is "en_US" so that it is "POSIX". Anyone know how? When I do a man on "setlocale" it displays a man page for a C function call... Thanks! -Michael -- No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly the functions he is competent to. It is by dividing and subdividing these republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best. -- Thomas Jefferson, to Joseph Cabell, 1816 _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
