Hmm, on NEXTSTEP, there isn't even a file called /usr/lib/locale, and nothing else needs it. Being no UNIX expert, I'd find it annoying to have to install such a file simply to be able to run zsh correctly. I mean, why the hell can't zsh do without? It *does* get right the small German Umlauts, so I don't think there's any reason it shouldn't be able to cope with the capital ones without the help of some special file. Anyway, as it is - how would this file /usr/lib/locale have to look like for NEXTSTEP to allow capital German Umlauts? From this discussion, so far I haven't the slightest idea. And will it also work with zsh version 2.51 which is the installed "default" version in NEXTSTEP which many users haven't changed yet?
