Regarding the encoding/locale matching issue, here's another test 
routine I would like you to run if you want to see your operating 
system supported.  It reflects more accurately the actual 
implementation I'm working on.

Compile the attached test program and then run

for x in `locale -a`; do LC_ALL=$x ./test; done | sort -u

If you don't have a locale command, maybe something like this will work:

for x in `ls /usr/share/locale`; do LC_ALL=`basename $x` ./test; done | 
sort -u

I already have Linux and FreeBSD covered.  Thanks.

(If the program doesn't compile or misbehaves, that would be useful 
information as well.)

Oh, disregard previous complaint then...

On HPUX 10.20 I get
--snip--
SJIS
arabic8
big5
ccdc
eucJP
eucKR
eucTW
greek8
hebrew8
hp15CN
iso88591
iso885915
iso88592
iso88595
iso88596
iso88597
iso88598
iso88599
kana8
roman8
tis620
turkish8
utf8
--snip--

On Mac OS X 10.3.4, there doesn't seem to be a "locale" program.
Using the ls /usr/share/locale technique, I get
--snip--

Big5
CP1251
CP866
ISCII-DEV
ISO8859-1
ISO8859-13
ISO8859-15
ISO8859-2
ISO8859-4
ISO8859-5
ISO8859-7
ISO8859-9
KOI8-R
KOI8-U
SJIS
US-ASCII
UTF-8
eucCN
eucJP
eucKR
--snip--

Note the blank line in there!  It appears that the CODESET routine is
simply emitting the last part of the locale name, as the output works
out like this:

locale			CODESET

...
de_AT
de_AT.ISO8859-1		ISO8859-1
de_AT.ISO8859-15	ISO8859-15
de_AT.UTF-8		UTF-8
de_CH
...

In short it looks like this is going to be a bit limited on OSX :-(

Hi Peter,

It doesn't even compile in a OpenBSD box. The langinfo.h doesn't have 'CODESET' symbol.

OpenBSD doesn't support locale at all (correct me if I'm wrong).

We do have nothing in /usr/share/locale
