Please wait a moment, locale10.zip didn't have a DJGPP port, but
locale11.zip has. I didn't know that the author (Timofei Bondarenko
<tim AT ipi DOT ac DOT ru>) didn't make v1.1 publicly available yet, he sent it to
me two weeks ago. 

I'll ask him for the permission to sent it to you, in case he doesn't
want to make v1.1 publicly available right now.

The library is rather good, but it depends on the information obtained
from country.sys and that has some bugs, e.g. it tells that the 
"latin small letter sharp s (german)" ('ß') is uppercase. But if more
people would start to use this library, I think these problems could be
fixed faster.
