Locale-specific error messages Lout offers the option of locale-specific error messages. To get them, install with USELOC set to 1 in the make file, as described in detail there. If USELOC is set to 1 when installing, Lout will look for a file called $(LIBDIR)/locale/msgs. where stands for the current locale, for its error messages. At present we have msgs.english.3.16 The up-to-date messages list, in English old.msgs.fr French messages from Version 3.05, out of date old.msgs.de German messages from Version 3.05, out of date Someone needs to translate the new errors list into these languages (and others) and send it to me. Please send me any translations you do (perhaps ask first) so that I can stop people doing duplicate work. Jeffrey H. Kingston 26 May 1999
