Hi,

I'm using localeconv(3) to get these values in struct lconv:

                   char    *decimal_point;
                   char    *thousands_sep;
                   char    *grouping;


It's easy enough to retrieve these values using localeconv() but how does
one -set- these value?

My main interest is having a system-wide place that holds the decimal_point,
thousands_separator, and the digit grouping for different countries.

For example, in the US, the decimal point is '.' the thousands_sep is ','
and the grouping is 0x03 0x00.

Currently, when you look at these values returned by localeconv(), 
decimal_point is "." but thousands_sep is "" and so is grouping.


Again, is there some standard way to set these values?


Thanks!  -Mike
