I have a file that has latin characters (special characters like o~
i.e., tilda on the top of o)in a flat text file (in US english) in DOS
environment. When used dos2unix command, the latin characters are not
exist anymore in the file.
My unix system is loaded with Solaris 9 and it has some of the locales
loaded.
Why are these special characters missing when used dos2unix?

I also noticed when any shell script is executed in my solaris 9
environment, I get a message saying, "Could not set locale correctly".

Tried to set LANG, LC_ALL variable in .cshrc and .login.
When I checked the locale, it displayed as follows:
LANG=C
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_*="C"
LC_ALL=C

Would someone help in listing all the locale's that are needed to
install to get all Latin characters translated for US English. I
noticed several packages like UTF8 ISO8859-1 and 15 for US and not
sure which ones are absolutely needed for locale to work correctly.

I greatly appreciate any help on this!
