Hi pancake, Just a few things.
1) I like the contributions you make; do keep sharing them, regardless of occasional Christoph style replies. 2) Thanks for investigating the setlocale() issue and reporting back so clearly, it was interesting to read. I'll give that tiv program you wrote a whirl sometime, it sounds like a fun thing. I'm glad it's C only, 'cos I don't know Vala, and being gnome-y I suspect it has glib-type tendencies, but writing and sharing play code should be encouraged with any bloat / dependencies, so long as they're recognised as temporary, so thanks for sharing. Nick
