Specifying the locale

Configuring multi-byte support

Multi-byte support for Asian locales is implemented in:

multi-byte clients, formerly available in the EUC (Extended UNIX Coding) Supplement
language-specific supplements, which include:
- multi-byte locales
- messaging files
- input method server and client
- X11 Codeset and Compose files
- app-defaults files

In the /usr/bin/euc directory SCO OpenServer includes some multi-byte clients, including: (ksh, scocal, scomail, sed, vi).

NOTE: These multi-byte clients are in a separate directory from their single-byte counterparts. Therefore, you must add /usr/bin/euc to your path to use these clients. Single- and multi-byte functionality for these clients will be integrated in a later release.

Multi-byte clients have not been extensively tested.

To enable these clients, you must install a language supplement specific to the desired locale; contact your SCO OpenServer distributor for more information.
