The original FDCC files are text files, and are described in ISO 14652 standard.

The problem is that they are huge, and that parsing them would be
very time-intensive (not to mention they would use a large part of
your disk with nothing but comments). So glibc provides a 'compiled'
or 'compressed' version of these files which loads very quickly.
The only thing we need to do is to find out how each of the files
LC_NUMERIC LC_DATE LC_CURRENCY  (and maybe some others) are structured,
and we're all set...

yeah, we'll just have to mimic the c code for this then.  i hope to
look at it again soon.


It's on my TODO list, together with 325673 other items...
