#   locale -a

# en_US.UTF-8 is the Slackware default locale.  If you're looking for
# a different UTF-8 locale, be aware that some of them do not include
# UTF-8 or utf8 in the name.  To test if a locale is UTF-8, use this
# command:
#   LANG=<locale> locale -k charmap
# UTF-8 locales will include "UTF-8" in the output.
# If there are problems with certain programs and a UTF-8 locale, you
# can set LANG=C before starting them.

# 'C' is the old Slackware (and UNIX) default, which is 127-bit
# ASCII with a charmap setting of ANSI_X3.4-1968.  These days,
# it's better to use en_US or another modern $LANG setting to
# support extended character sets.
# if ( "$LANG" == "" ) setenv LANG "C"

# One side effect of the newer locales is that the sort order
# is no longer according to ASCII values, so the sort order will
# change in many places.  Since this isn't usually expected and
# can break scripts, we'll stick with traditional ASCII sorting.
# If you'd prefer the sort algorithm that goes with your $LANG
# setting, comment this out.
