What? You don't *want* a three-line explanation every time something goes
wrong? :-) :-)
Follow these instructions, and your messages will revert to the the familiar,
terse, cryptic UNIX messages you know and love. ("eh?" is *my* favorite.)
NOTE: You *can*, if you wish, replace "mv" with "rm" in these
instructions. I don't recommend it - you may want these back again, if
you ever have a novice on the system (or if something goes wrong...).
--------clip-n-save--------------
#cd /usr/lpp/msg/$FOO (in the US, $FOO == En_US . In other locales,
it will be something similar.)
#mv *.cat $BAR ($BAR == some storage facility)
All commands (excepting shells and other programs currently running) will
now default to the XPG "C" locale, which is built into the code.
Restart your shells to have them change as well.
