Following the guidelines related to cygwin 1.7, I have generally been using LANG=en_US.UTF-8. But I found that if I do "man <whatever>" to get a man page, and then search (I have man's "more" program set to "less") for a string having a dash in it, say to search for -a in the rsync man page to find the description of that flag, it fails to match.
This is because with that LANG setting, for a hyphen/dash man produces a three-byte UTF sequence. The same happens for LANG=C.UTF-8. The way I have found around it is to use LANG=C. Thoughts about this as a "problem"? Is it a problem? Is there a better way? Thanks -- Eliot ============================================================================== J. Eliot B.
