DONT READ THIS UNLESS YOU GIVE A DAMN ABOUT JAMES DONALD'S "OPINION" OF UNIX -- HIT DELETE NOW. jamesd@com.informix.com says:
But my statement concerning internationalization and resource files was correct.
Nope, sorry. Posix defines these things called "Locales". They provide automatic and seamless support for things like changing currency symbols, date formats, fonts, etc. The X windows system has full support for internationalization in most of its widget sets, too.
I have made a little tour of people in my company who work on both unix and Windows.
Sorry that you don't work with people who know about these things, but ignorance is not equivalent to absence. Frankly, I have yet to see a single statement from you that actually bore some relationship to reality. The most devistating comment you seem to be able to come up with about why Unix is bad is that make -- an application that doesn't even come with DOS -- used to have some places where it required tabs.
