RE: multi language interfaces

Hi Peter,

That's the way I also lean toward. But how to implement such? Do I have
to use a seperate lib for every language in which I store message files
and datafiles? Or is it better to use datafiles in the same lib wich
have the content for all the languages that should be used? Now only
three languages will be supported, but you'll never know for the future.

TIA, Arco
