locale variables have pretty clear definitions. obviously LC_COLLATE wouldnt be relevant here, but LC_MESSAGES certainly would. > instead just have a passthru option they could enable, that says "I > hereby agree that I want to be sent raw -x output back, and if it looks > weird, it's my own fault, 'garbage in, garbage out'." your definition of 'garbage' is pretty loose. you also ignore know non- printable characters like the first ~30 characters in the ascii table. those should never be printed directly. > In fact I forgot at the moment why they would see garbage. not every multibyte sequence is valid and thus will not map to a valid character. -mike
