Re:Locale problem

["marcus.cf" <marcus.cf@...>]

I tried the following and it worked on Linux. It didn't 
work on Windows probably because the C compiler didn't 
support locales the same way Linux did (don't remember 
if it was me who compiled my Windows version of Lua)

os.setlocale('pt_BR', 'numeric')
io.read('*n') -- accepts the number 5,6 and not 5.6

os.setlocale('C', 'numeric')
io.read('*n') -- back to '.'
