Re: thousands separator

[Gary Ashburn]

   little heart =
   chr 172 if my conversion was successful.
     unsigned char locg;
     locg = loc.currency_symbol;
     printf("decimal_point = %s\n", loc.decimal_point);
     printf("thousands_sep = %s\n", loc.thousands_sep);
     printf("grouping; = %s\n", loc.grouping);
     printf("grouping; = %i\n", locg);

     Thinking about the random responses in the other program I ran this
     several more times from different directories to verify the little heart
     was a constant output.
     it came up the same regardless of where or how many times I ran it

     The Cygwin compiler can produce MinGW (i.e. native Windows) programs,
     if invoked with the -mno-cygwin switch.  The binary will then use the
     Windows runtime instead of cygwin1.dll.
