I doubt that mklocale(1) still does anything useful for non-UTF-8 locales. Even if it still prodcues some kind of output for legacy input files, which i don't think anybody has tried for half a decade now, neither the OpenBSD C library nor the OpenBSD userland at large supports using such files. Trying to set a non-UTF-8 loacle, even if you put all the legacy files back into where they used to be, will only result in using the POSIX locale instead. > This looks like a place to start: > > http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabble.com/Remove-build-machinery-for-non-UTF-8-charsets-td291943.html Very misleading. That was only about cleaning up old cruft because it no longer had any effect at that point. What you recommend is akin to telling people to get new coal for their locomotive many years after the steam engine has been replaced by an electrical engine. Yours, Ingo
