-: The interesting variable is LANG. This variable may contain an alias like
-: es for spanish or de_CH for german spoken in switzerland. This alias is
-: resolved into a codepage using charset.alias. At the same time LANG can
-: be set directely to a codepage.

-: To solve your difficulty I would suggest the following lines for your
-: djgpp.env:

-: +LANG=CP437
-: +LANGUAGE=de
   ^

This does the trick; `sed --version' now displays text correctly
in de, sv (the only ones I tried) using cp437 (and cp850).  Thanks!

So, if I understand this correctly, when I set LANG=de it was effectively
like setting LANG=ISO-8859-1 (because the de text was prepared with that
codepage)?  So I was telling NLS that my current codepage was ISO-8859-1
when it was not?
