I've had a confrimation fromthe user in France that all the Unix date
commands - which according to 'man srtftime' are menat to be "national
representations" are all resulting in the same US versions we get
here. I
don't quite understand what is menat by "National".
The reason for this strange result is that Mac OS X seems to ignore
most of the LC settings. On most unix systems a
setenv LANG "fr_FR" (csh style) or a
setenv LC_ALL "fr_FR"
would cause the unix environment to use the local definitions for dates
e.a. which reside in /usr/share/locale . Unfortunately OS X does not
honour LC_TIME and displays the date always American style. Therefore
the national representation of +ï is "April 7" and not "7 avril" and
+%d %B results in 07 April and not 7 avril.
