It's Alpine - it can't handle en_GB.UTF-8 - says it's unsupported. When does it say that? I just sent you an email with a  sign in from Alpine with appropriate locale, and the docs suggest that PC-Alpine (Windows version?) always assumes UTF-8 locale (which seems sensible these days). Is it unsupported, or is the locale just not generated on your computer or some such. # dpkg-reconfigure locales -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
