For spellings and VT the UK version would be better.
For character set and other settings the US version is better for us, IMHO.
Given the choice, I would still go for a US version over a UK version, but
I don't use VT.

If you want to put UK fixes on, you should already have the UK version.
If you want to use the UK version of OS/2, then get it.

If you want to convert the VT component from US to UK on a US version of
OS/2, install the US VT component (new OS/2 install, or selective install) so
that "the system" knows it is there, and overlay the VT directory and all its
subdirectories with a UK version of the VT "tree".

It's all documented in vtuk.txt (22,123 bytes).  The data is supplied in
vtuk.zip (18,473,290 bytes) both of which I downloaded from the Canberra
PC Users' Group (sorry if the name is not exactly right).  Again, I have no
URL, but someone previously posted it here in the last 6 months so dejanews
should be able to get it for you.

The registration/enrollment exercises are much easier for an Australian speaker
with the UK version, I found, but again, I didn't bother with it in my latest OS/2
install effort.

Cheers - hth, Greg
