Yes, the "locale" accounts for the different habits of people around the world. Things like the fact that parts of Europe use a , as a decimal point, and . as a thousands separator. The locale settings usually also have information about currency symbol, date and time formet, time offset from GMT etc etc etc. Richard ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for Bede Scientific Instruments for all viruses by Star Internet.
