At this point, I was parsing what I had read from several sources, but as I interpreted it, file data is included. Mainly I just wanted to give him further ideas to factor into the decision process, and maybe shouldn't have gone into so much detail. Jeff Bonner

pported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). In any case, "dpkg-reconfigure locales", as suggested by Tatsuya Kinoshita, did fix both of these issues. Now, I still have those same empty values for LC_CTYPE and LC_ALL, but they don't seem to have any adverse effect. Thanks guys! Jeff Bonner

Trillian hasn't been ported to Linux, but I sure hope it does. There's a poll question on their website of "wish-list items" and that's one of them. The Win32 0.71 version is great, and if it were moved over, it would probably fit the bill perfectly in this case. Maybe a few of us should goad them into making a Linux version? Jeff Bonner
