POSIX certainly allows it, but glibc's behaviour has to be taken into account as well. If there was a de-facto standard of C meaning ASCII that people rely on, Cygwin would be better off going with that. > which it was for most systems until > fairly recently, but now it's not just us but some of the linux distros are > moving to UTF-8 by default as well and they have the same problem. You mean they're switching the unadorned "C" locale to UTF-8? That would be great. Have you got examples?
