Hello

Many thanks for the replies.

I am note sure whether you've got what you meant (Prof. Ripley) but here is
the output of Sys.getlocale()

> Sys.getlocale()[1] "LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252;LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_United States.1252"


Is that what you meant?

Many thanks

Ed
