Thanks for the posts and pointers wrt my Linux questions. I don't 
need Norwegian versions as long as the text editors can handle
Scandinavian "umlauts"...  I am running the U.S. version of Warp 4
without any problems. My impression is that national editions only
give you docs, helpfiles etc. in the national language. Having
applied U.S. fixpaks to my Norwegian version of Warp 3, it is 
always interesting to see which language is chosen for various
messages, helpfiles etc.  :)

It is of course a bit ironic that we are discussing this in English, or
should I say Norwenglish, but see it as a service to the Limeys, 
Dixies, Pommies, Yankees, as well as Ossies and Wessies, on
the list...
