I want to read/write text files with floats formatted according to
en_US (eg 1.234).

My WinXP machine is set to use a different locale (so I usually see
1,234 for the above value).

I tried to set the textdatafile locale (both in the IDE and schema
file), the individual columns locale, the dataset locale, the jdbtable
locale, even the frame locale with no positive results. I even tried to
play around with all masks, and especially exportdisplaymask, no
results either.

Only way of reading/writing desired formatting seems to be changing my
WinXP int. settings both for Unicode AND non Unicode (advanced
settings) to en_US.

I want the application to be independent of the running machine
settings. Suggestions?
