+# This set of tests checks local-specific features, using the "fr_FR" locale. 
+# It is almost Perl-compatible. When run via RunTest, the locale is edited to
+# be whichever of "fr_FR", "french", or "fr" is found to exist. There is
+# different version of this file called wintestinput3 for use on Windows,
+# where the locale is called "french" and the tests are run using
