The HPUX locale man pages say:
LC_CTYPE determines the interpretation of text as single and/or multi-byte characters, the classification of
charactersas printable, and the characters matched by character class expressions in regular expressions.
LC_COLLATE provides collation sequence definition for relative ordering between collating elements (single- and
multi-character collating elements) in the locale.
LC_MESSAGES determines the locale that should be used to affect the format and content of diagnostic messages
writtento standard error, and informative messages written to standard output.
LC_MONETARY defines the rules and symbols used to format monetary numeric information.
LC_NUMERIC defines rules and symbols used to format non-monetary numeric information.
LC_TIME defines the rules for generating locale-specific formatted date strings.
LC_ALL, when set to a non-empty string value, overrides the values of all other internationalization variables.
Dunno which LC_foo variable corresponds to LC_MESSAGES on BSDI.
