I'm currently using a DECstation 3100 using Ultrix. There is a POSIX
standard for internationalization of software and Ultrix includes the
necessary libraries. For those of you unfamilar with the POSIX
Internationalization standard, it deals with allowing applications to
display text in various languages, and displaying time, dates, and money
in the appropiate local format.

Does anyone know if Sun will include internationlization libraries in any
upcoming release?
