I've been thinking of different ways to implement a new feature and wondered if anyone knows (or could try) the unix "cal" program to see if it produces month names in the local language for the user of the machine. If anyone would like to test, just run Ken's unix cal code (in the examples/unix folder) or open terminal and type cal. Screen prints backchannel or other comments appreciated. BTW: I'm aware of the international resource call to collect local month names. I'm looking for something different. TIA.....Brian
