Many thanks for the numerous & useful suggestions about internationalization
of software.  I will post a summary.  I was surprised to find all sorts of
things that I took for granted (i.e. paper size is 8.5 * 11 in) that are
not internationally recognized constants...

But, to steer the conversation towards my own interests - the application
that I'm considering internationalizing is an astronomy simulation &
educational program.  What special 'internationalizations' are necessary 
for this type of application?




Thanks in advance,
