Someday, (at this point in the Cygwin 1.7-to-1.9 transition, perhaps :-) the norm will be for remote connection apps to call setlocale, 2 can be removed if desired, and any apps that still break may be considered broken -- to be fixed with a setlocale(), just like all the now well-behaved apps which set the precedent due to the effort started now? stephan(); -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
