All this effort so that the LC_MESSAGES variable lets the system know
that we Canadians only understand things if they end with "eh?" or
refer to hockey in some way :

$ uname -a
SunOS aequitas 5.11 snv_91 i86pc i386 i86pc
$ ls -lap
total 9233
drwxr-xr-x   2 dclarke  csw            3 Jul 10 13:56 ./
drwxr-xr-x   7 dclarke  csw            7 Jul 10 13:51 ../
-rw-r--r--   1 dclarke  csw      4702151 Jul 10 13:56 config.log
$ ls -lap see_dat_dere
see_dat_dere: eh? icing past the blue line ?
$
