good. i enabled it in my build and it seemed to work fine, so
i'm going to enable it and check it in.
could someone in europe (and who routinely uses the LANG and
LC_ vars) give it a try ?? [if you've hand-edited you AbiWord.Profile,
it would probably be best to delete it and let AbiWord create a fresh
one for you.]

that's fine. we can get it later.
BTW, do the POSIX values give any indication
of which unit of measure is preferred ??
