Locale configuration is forced during UnixWare 7 installation -- you must set the locale as you install. More choices have been added to both locale and keyboard definitions in UnixWare 7, which is also backwards-compatible with SCO UnixWare Release 2.X and SCO OpenServer Release 5.
You can also set the locale after installation on a system-wide basis using the SCOadmin International Settings Manager or on a per-user basis using the SCOadmin Account Manager.
On your SCO UnixWare Release 2.X system, view the file
/etc/default/locale. This contains the system
locale, and consists of a vairable (LANG) and
its setting, for example LANG=C.
Record this locale so you have access to it during UnixWare 7 installation.
When you install UnixWare 7 and are prompted for the locale, you
will select a locale that appears in spelled-out form; for example,
the locale ``C'' corresponds to ``C (English)''.
You can also select a keyboard that maps to that particular locale.
On your SCO OpenServer Release 5 system, start the SCOadmin International Settings Manager to view the current locale. The locale is highlighted when you enter the manager; it is listed in the ``Language'' selection box. For example, your locale might be ``en_US''. Record this locale so you have access to it during UnixWare 7 installation.
When you install UnixWare 7 and are prompted for the locale, you will select a locale that appears in spelled-out form; for example, the locale ``en_US'' corresponds to ``English for United States''. You can also select a keyboard that maps to that particular locale.
