This is exactly why I wouldn't use that notation. What happens if it is hardcoded into the source? I mean, that's what we're talking about. Then the program would have to have an indication of which locale is used for which source file. Without that, a program would be interpreted in a different way on different computers. I think that would be rather messy. I'm in favour of using spaces or underscores. Sybren -- The problem with the world is stupidity.
