Do you mean they explicitly set the "C" locale? Hmm. Now that we've got the "C.UTF-8" default, "C" could actually go back to mean ASCII. With no locale variables set, the console and filesystem would use UTF-8 anyway, as would applications that call setlocale(,""). Only applications that don't call setlocale() would be using the "C" locale and hence ASCII, as but that'd be fine as either they don't care about it or they actually expect to be using ASCII. > Dave Korn wrote: >> Thanks, that was it. =C2=A0Had to use "C.CP437" in the end, apparently w= e have >> charset encoding names for lots of OEM code pages but none for plain van= illa >> ASCII. Actually, we do: "C.ASCII". Except it's 8-bit rather than 7-bit as elsewhere, making it practically the same as "C.ISO-8859-1".
