Solaris would simply "disappear" from markets where non-UTF-8 multibyte characters are either required by law or still have widespread coporate use (e.g. "zh_CN.GB18030", "ja_JP.PCK" and some others fall into this category (and Sun has invested a lot to get these locales implemented&&certified)). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;)
