IDE Version 1.3.23: The default locale can be changed; some REPORT bugs are fixed

[tod Landis]

Version 1.3.23 is in the download area of the web site: http://dbentrance.com/

There is a new Preference Dialog option on the "Misc" panel for
setting the locale. For example, using the new option you could
request DECIMAL formats for Italy on US desktops. Any of the Java
DecimalFormat format strings will work:

A few REPORT bugs have also been fixed, and the REPORT documentation
has been updated.

Here is an example script (use <a href="http://dbentrance.com/demo/
create_cpiI.sql ">create_cpi.sql</a> to make the sample data if you
don't have it):

REPORT
AUTO, SCIENTIFIC, PLAIN, DECIMAL "#.000", MONEY
SELECT
jan AS 'auto', mar AS 'scientific', apr AS 'plain', may AS
'decimal',
june * 100000000000 AS 'money'
FROM CPI LIMIT 20;

Next, the way REPORT handles HTML styles and stylesheets will be
cleaned up (and simplfied!). If you have wishlist items in that area,
please let me know.
