To tell the truth, as a programmer I would not know how to write numbers using the locale.
man printf :-)
Ah, but I use pascal ;-)
I'm sure pascal has man pages and manuals too.
Sure. I had a quick look on "locale", did not find how to change numeric treatment so fast and so globally. Some of the entries I found apply only to Windows. It handles language localization differently, too.

For the record, when I studied C and later when I programmed in C (msdos and windows) I never saw a mention of this at all.
Yes, there will be many things and concepts that fit into that, but to many programmers, locale considerations will probably always remain a bit exotic.
Yep. IN the case that originated my problem, "identify" has no treatment at all. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
