[»] Bug in 1.11 -- checking against POSIX LANG values falls short
by /dev/phil - Feb 9th 2001 17:14:45

First, the SYNOPSIS in the comments at the start of the script is utterly outdated. Anyhow... The default setting of LANGUAGE picks up $LANG from the environment, but then doesn't test for the POSIX "sublanguage" strings. For example, en_US (American English) is the default LANG setting in all of our systems out of the box, but pscal warns about an unknown language. (It tests for "en", but nothing more.) Unfortunately, warning isn't enough, because it generates bad PostScript as output. Anyhow, it's good to see that someone is maintaining pscal. It's been so useful over the years!
