I guess you mean mainland European. As far as I know the Britts still
use dot as decimal separator :-)

Anyway, I can't reproduce this bug under linux; I can read match equity
tables with Danish, French, German, and British locale settings.

I assume your matchequity.c is 1.33. I really can't see what should have
changed since November 20 that would change things! Did you download a
new version of any of your libraries?

Anyway, you can try inserting the following
piece of code in parseRow in matchequity.c line 1058:

    if ( ! strcmp ( cur->name, "me" ) ) {
       printf ( "locale in parseRow: '%s'\n", 
                setlocale ( LC_NUMERIC, NULL );

The locale should show up as 'C'.
