Hello

I'm about to expand my market place from the UK to all English speaking 
countries.  AFAICT, I only need to worry about the following:

Decimal separator
Currency symbol
Telephone number format (is this a Windows settings even?)
Date format

What functions do I need to look at to get the above?

Many thanks

David

Almost all of them could be resolve with ::GetLocaleInfo().

Of course a telephone number format isn't a Windows settings.

If you are ready to deal with C++ own facet class
and standard iostreams. You could take a look at
C++ Builder (bcb5.hlp) Help under:
An example of formatting phone numbers

Thanks, I've found that the VCL extracts most of that info already into 
a few vars, e.g. ShortDateFormat, CurrencyFormat.
