Re: Sort - locale: cygwin_nt-5.0
Many thanks to all the experts who kindly answered my question. I am sorry to know that I cannot use cygwin for sorting texts with languages other than English, but it was important for me to know if locales was supported or not. Unfortunately, fro lack of competence I cannot be the one who fixes the problem!

Sort - locale: cygwin_nt-5.0
I hope this is not a FAQ -- I duly checked FAQs and googled for a while. From some messages, I found that LOCALE is not supported by cygwin. Is this true also for the version I mention in the subject? My problem is basically related to sort: I tried to export LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE and LANG for French and Italian but to no success. Is this possible under cygwin? I normally use Linux, but I installed cygwin on a computer of my University where I must use Windows. Many thanks.

Re: Sort - locale: cygwin_nt-5.0
From: Igor Pechtchanski [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Guido Milanese [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: cygwin@cygwin.com The version that you mention in the subject just says that you're running Cygwin on Win2k. It doesn't say anything about the actual version of Cygwin. Thanks,sorry: v.1.5.16-1 There's very little support for LOCALE settings in Cygwin. Some applications will switch the language of the help messages, etc, to the extent gettext() supports it. I don't believe sort has locale-specific collate support -- the coreutils maintainer might be a better person to answer that. Thanks again. I am puzzled because I recall that an older version I tried a couple of years ago was sorting correctly. This most recent one seems to ignore anything related to LC_* Best regards, guido m.
